APA Corporation: Strong Pick In Oil/Gas, With A Reversing Chart Pattern

  • APA Corporation is trading at recession-like valuation levels, with ultra-low price-to-sales and cash flow ratios rarely seen outside crisis periods. Shares offer a high 17% free cash flow yield and an above-average dividend yield of 5.4%, making it an attractive income and value play in oil/gas. Key risks include elevated debt and the potential for continued low selling prices for fossil fuels, but debt maturities are manageable and cash flow is robust.
