APA expects commodity prices to remain volatile in the near term because of geopolitical instability involving the Middle East, Russia, and Ukraine, macroeconomic uncertainty, tariffs and trade barriers, supply-chain disruptions, and potential recession concerns. The company states that significant commodity-price changes affect revenues, earnings, and cash flows, and could pressure liquidity if costs do not adjust at the same pace. During the second quarter of 2026, Permian Basin gas prices included periods of negative pricing, reducing second-quarter natural-gas revenue by $143 million, or 74%, versus the prior-year quarter. APA also says persistent or worsening inflationary pressures could increase operating costs, but it cannot currently predict the impact of international conflicts or potential trade restrictions and tariffs.
