How has Oil & Gas Integrated moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 19% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 14% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Participation is spreading downward — the mid and small companies added more this month than the large ones did.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 16 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks
Is Oil & Gas Integrated outperforming S&P 500?

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Equinor ASA has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 58.7% evidence confidence.
ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation has the highest Revenue among the 13 Oil & Gas Integrated companies compared here, at $326,008 million. Shell plc is next at $267,343 million. National Fuel Gas Company has the highest Revenue growth at 21.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 11 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation is the scale leader at $326,008 million, 21.9% ahead of Shell plc. National Fuel Gas Company's growth is 21.3% from a $2,508 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation is the scale benchmark; National Fuel Gas Company is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation's growth falls below National Fuel Gas Company's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.
Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data sources reconciled. A missing PEG is more honest than a low-base fiction.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Oil & Gas Integrated comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 13 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.

Which companies are included?
All 13 companies in the canonical Oil & Gas Integrated membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 13 Oil & Gas Integrated companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

These 18 answers restate the Oil & Gas Integrated comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 13 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Oil & Gas Integrated company is the biggest?
ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $326,008 million, ahead of Shell plc at $267,343 million. That covers 11 of 13 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Oil & Gas Integrated company is growing fastest?
National Fuel Gas Company has the fastest revenue growth at 21.3% year on year, across 11 of 13 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.

Which Oil & Gas Integrated company makes the most profit?

On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation screens cheapest at 0.23×. Only 9 of 13 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Oil & Gas Integrated company has the strongest balance sheet?
National Fuel Gas Company carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $2,426 million, from 12 of 13 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Oil & Gas Integrated company is investing most in new capacity?
ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation reports the largest capital spending at $6,470 million, across 13 of 13 companies.
