Shares closed at $36.24 on Thursday, their third straight loss, as the S&P 500 fell 0.38% and the Dow dropped 0.63%.
APA lagged peers including EOG Resources, SLB and Occidental Petroleum, which also declined but by smaller percentages during the grim market session.
The stock finished 20.63% below its 52-week high of $45.66 reached on 30 March, while trading volume rose to 12.3 million against a 50-day average of 9.1 million.
Is Wall Street's bearish turn on APA a true warning or market panic creating a prime buying opportunity?
