EQT EQT
EQT Corporation is the largest natural gas producer in the United States, focused on exploration and production (E&P) in the Appalachian Basin, with a business model centered on gas extraction and sales to wholesale markets. EQT trades at an attractive valuation (EV/EBITDA 5.85, FCF yield 7.74%) with a solid balance sheet (Net Debt/EBITDA 0.79), but the business is clearly contracting: revenue -3.9% and earnings -74%, with an operating margin of 23.37% that does not offset the decline. The crude rally does not benefit it as a gas producer, and its weak momentum (14th percentile of the 52-week range) reflects pressure on gas prices.

Context and risks
EQT is a natural gas producer, not oil: the crude rally does not directly benefit it. Its main risk is exposure to Henry Hub gas prices, which is not in the automatic macro context. Additionally, the rise in 10-year Treasury yields increases the cost of capital for a capex-intensive business, though its low leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA 0.79) mitigates the impact.

Verdict: Hold or wait: the cheap valuation and low leverage provide support, but the earnings decline and weak natural gas prices require confirmation of recovery before buying.
Main risk: Direct exposure to Henry Hub natural gas prices, which have fallen sharply and caused a -74% profit collapse, with the crude rally not compensating as it is a gas producer, not an oil producer.
