Houston, Texas-based APA Corporation (APA) is an independent energy company engaged in exploring and producing oil and natural gas. With a market capitalization of about $14.8 billion, the company operates in the U.S., Egypt, the U.K. and offshore Suriname, focusing on responsible energy production, operational safety, sustainability, shareholder value and meeting growing global energy demand.
Companies worth between $10 billion and $200 billion are generally classified as “large-cap stocks,” and APA comfortably fits this category. Its substantial market capitalization reflects its size, influence and established position within the oil and gas E&P industry. APA’s strength comes from having energy assets spread across key markets rather than relying on a single region. Its operations across the U.S., Egypt, the North Sea and Suriname provide geographic diversity, while strategic acquisitions and divestitures help optimize its asset base, improve capital efficiency and support long-term growth.
