EOG Resources Inc. (EOG)

[Timothy Smith]

EOG Resources doesn't have to shy away from scrutiny when it comes to its returns on equity.

In 2014, a very difficult year for the energy industry by any means, EOG Resources reported a return on equity of 16% and a return on capital employed of 14%. That's pretty remarkable and attests to the quality of EOG's asset portfolio.

Further, EOG Resources returns on equity/capital compare favorably to industry returns.
