What Devon Energy does

US shale oil and gas producer focused on the Permian, Bakken, Eagle Ford and Anadarko basins.

Produces oil, gas and natural-gas liquids, with oil carrying most of the revenue. It became a pure US shale producer after selling its Canadian assets in 2019 and its Barnett shale gas in 2020, then merged with WPX Energy in 2021, which strengthened its Delaware Basin position in the Permian.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
