On January 15, 2026, KeyBanc downgraded EOG from an Overweight rating to a Sector Weight rating, indicating a more cautious stance on the stock. At the time, EOG's stock price was $108.02. This downgrade suggests that KeyBanc sees potential challenges ahead for EOG, aligning with the recent reduction in holdings by Conning Inc.

This adjustment left Conning with 277,163 shares, valued at approximately $31 million, representing about 0.05% of EOG. This move might reflect a more conservative approach towards EOG, consistent with KeyBanc's downgrade.
