New York-based Hess Corporation (HES) explores, produces, purchases, transports, and sells crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Valued at $45.7 billion by market cap, Hess focuses on exploration and production activities in the U.S., Gulf of Mexico, offshore Suriname, and several international locations.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks,” Hess fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size and influence in the oil & gas industry.
