EQT Corp
EQT Corp is a natural gas producer focused on the Appalachian Basin, especially the Marcellus and Utica shale areas. It drills wells, produces natural gas and related liquids, and moves that gas into the market through pipelines and gathering systems it owns or uses. Its main buyers are utilities, gas marketers, industrial users, and other energy companies that need steady natural gas supply. EQT makes money mainly by selling the natural gas and natural gas liquids it produces. It also earns value from its midstream network, which helps collect gas from wells and deliver it to larger pipelines. That setup matters because in natural gas, the producer that can control both the wells and the takeaway route usually has more say over cost, reliability, and how quickly production reaches customers. What makes EQT different is its scale and focus. Instead of being a broad oil-and-gas company, it is built around one core product: natural gas. That makes EQT especially tied to North American gas demand for power generation, heating, and industrial use, and it gives the company a clear role as a major supplier in the gas value chain.

Results: EQT said the quarter beat expectations across production, price realizations, operating costs, and capital spending, and generated $330 million of free cash flow despite $2.89 per MMBtu gas.
Guidance: Management raised 2026 production guidance by roughly 90 Bcfe at the midpoint and lowered full-year CapEx by $25 million.
Southgate: EQT received FERC authorization for MVP Southgate and is pulling forward capital spending, accelerating construction into 2026 to reduce project risk.
Commercial wins: The company signed a 10-year supply deal with CPV for 325 million cubic feet per day and a 5-year LNG offtake agreement for about 0.5 million tons per annum.
Balance sheet: EQT said it is close to its $5 billion net debt target and plans to be aggressive with share repurchases, especially during down cycles.
Demand outlook: Management sees a much larger Appalachia opportunity set than six months ago, with more than 45 projects under construction or evaluation totaling nearly 20 Bcf a day of potential demand.
