APA Corporation: No Hedges, No Limits--Perfectly Positioned To Benefit From Eleveted Oil Prices

APA Corporation stands to benefit fully from oil price surges due to its lack of hedges, supporting strong free cash flow and shareholder returns. APA's diversified production, cost reductions, and improved Egypt terms enhance margins, while the Suriname project promises substantial future production and cash flow upside. I estimate APA's 2026 free cash flow at $1.8–$2 billion, yielding a 13.5% FCF yield and supporting a fair value target of $51.5 per share—over 35% upside.
