The article, shortened and in plain language
Oil and gas shares like Santos Ltd and Woodside Energy Group Ltd are among the ASX's most widely held energy stocks.
Santos is a leading independent oil and gas producer spanning Australia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Alaska. The company has deep Australian roots and, as of its company profile, boasts one of the largest exploration and production acreages in Australia. Santos supplies natural gas domestically and to Asian markets, and is building towards projects like PNG LNG and Barossa LNG.
Looking at the numbers, Santos now trades with a market cap of $27.83 billion and a P/E ratio of 27.69. Earnings per share sit at $0.225, and the company has delivered a year-to-date return of 46.48%. Santos' dividend payout has generally increased over the years, but franking has diminished — none of the recent dividends have carried franking credits.
Woodside Energy Group is the largest independent Australian oil and gas operator, with extensive offshore production facilities and international assets. With a long history and global ambition, Woodside remains a heavyweight among ASX energy companies.
Unlike Santos, all Woodside dividends in recent years have been franked, a likely appeal for income investors.
Over the past fortnight, Santos' share price rose from $8.31 to $8.57, despite some ups and downs — an overall increase of about 3%.
Woodside's share price moved from $33.08 to $32.98, showing little net change but with more pronounced swings, including both rallies and dips.
