CNX Resources (CNX) Names A New CFO, Is The Stock Still Cheap?
CNX Resources (CNX) just reshaped its finance bench, elevating long-time insider Ravi Srivastava to Chief Financial Officer while former CFO Everett Good moves into a short term consulting role.
Recent trading tells a different story to CNX Resources’ boardroom promotions. The share price is US$31.17 and has fallen 14.3% over the past month and 14.5% year to date. Meanwhile, the 5 year total shareholder return of about 145% shows the longer run picture has been far stronger than the latest pullback and hints that recent price weakness reflects shifting sentiment around risk and future cash generation rather than a simple break in the story.

Most Popular Narrative: 17% Undervalued
CNX Resources closed at $31.17, while the most followed valuation narrative pegs fair value closer to $37.64. That gap rests on a view that future cash flows and earnings stability are worth more than the market is currently paying.
Favorable policy and regulatory shifts towards cleaner-burning natural gas, including programs like 45Z tax credits and renewable energy attribute markets, are creating new high-margin revenue streams (for example, RMG sales and environmental credits). These developments may enhance both net margins and free cash flow. Expansion into differentiated products (RNG, blue hydrogen, carbon-linked derivatives) and flexible participation in voluntary and compliance environmental markets position CNX to capture diversified, premium-priced revenue streams, underpinning long-term top-line and earnings growth.

Result: Fair Value of $37.64 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, the whole setup for CNX Resources depends on uncertain gas demand and regulatory outcomes, so weaker prices or tougher rules could quickly challenge that undervalued thesis.
