Long-term holding EOG Resources (EOG) is a large, diversified oil and gas exploration and production company. The stock fell out of favor when the company made poorly timed investments to expand natural gas production just prior to a precipitous drop in natural gas prices. We saw this as an opportunity because the company possessed both the management acumen and attractive resource base to efficiently pivot production away from natural gas to oil. EOG continues to execute this strategy with better than expected oil production and higher oil prices driving strong stock performance during the fiscal year.We maintain our position in the stock.
