Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

EOG's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "EOG."

As of February 13, 2026, there were approximately 3,400 record holders and approximately 1,271,000 beneficial owners of EOG's common stock.

EOG expects to continue to pay dividends to its stockholders; however, EOG's Board may reduce the dividend or cease declaring dividends at any time, including if it determines that EOG's current or forecasted future cash flows provided by its operating activities (after deducting capital expenditures and other commitments requiring cash) are not sufficient to pay EOG's desired levels of dividends to its stockholders or to pay dividends to its stockholders at all. For additional discussion, see ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, EOG's share repurchase activity:

(1)Includes 6,289,876 shares repurchased during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, at an average price of $107.31 per share (inclusive of commissions and transaction fees), pursuant to the Share Repurchase Authorization (as defined and further discussed below); such repurchases count against the Share Repurchase Authorization. The share repurchases effected during the period October 1, 2025 through November 7, 2025 were made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan entered into by EOG on September 29, 2025. Also includes 18,281 total shares that were withheld by or returned to EOG during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, at an average price of $109.09 per share, (i) in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations that arose upon the exercise of employee stock options or stock-settled stock appreciation rights or the vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock unit or performance unit grants or (ii) in payment of the exercise price of employee stock options; such shares do not count against the Share Repurchase Authorization.

(2)In November 2021, EOG's Board of Directors (Board) established a new share repurchase authorization allowing for the repurchase by EOG of up to $5 billion of its common stock and, in November 2024, increased such share repurchase authorization from $5 billion to $10 billion, effective November 7, 2024 (Share Repurchase Authorization). As of December 31, 2025, (i) EOG had repurchased an aggregate 56,166,452 shares at a total cost of $6,653,075,921 (inclusive of commissions and transaction fees) under the Share Repurchase Authorization and (ii) an additional $3,346,924,079 of shares remained available for repurchases under the Share Repurchase Authorization.

(3)Under the Share Repurchase Authorization, EOG may repurchase shares from time to time, at management's discretion, in accordance with applicable securities laws, including through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or any combination thereof. The timing and amount of repurchases is at the discretion of EOG's management and depends on a variety of factors, including the trading price of EOG's common stock, corporate and regulatory requirements, other market and economic conditions, the availability of cash to effect repurchases and EOG's anticipated future capital expenditures and other commitments requiring cash. Repurchased shares are held as treasury shares and are available for general corporate purposes. The Share Repurchase Authorization has no time limit, does not require EOG to repurchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time.
