Q1 2026 was an exceptional quarter for energy stocks thanks to war in the Middle East, but Q2 2026 is not guaranteed to step in its footsteps.

While energy stocks are benefiting from the fighting in the short term, it may actually come back to hurt them in the long run.

EOG returns $14 billion to shareholders, expands global footprint and targets up to $18B free cash flow by 2028 to fuel future payouts.
