A stronger finish for U.S. natural gas prices, combined with EQT (EQT)'s new 10-year supply agreement for a planned West Virginia power plant, has pulled fresh attention to the producer's earnings outlook.
Over the past year, EQT's share price has moved in bursts rather than in a straight line, with a 10.52% 90 day share price return and a 5 year total shareholder return of 188.64%. This suggests that recent gas price strength and contracts like the new West Virginia deal are feeding into both shorter term momentum and a longer running investment story.
Spot 32 high quality undervalued stocks that, like EQT, are tied to shifting energy demand and could be positioned for the next leg of the natural gas and power story.EQT now trades at a clear discount to both analyst targets and some intrinsic value estimates after its recent run. Is that a genuine mispricing, or a fair warning label on future gas risk and contract execution?
The most followed narrative currently pegs EQT's fair value at $67.50, above the last close of $54.43. This frames today’s debate around whether the market is underestimating its long-horizon contracts and cash generation potential.
The ramp-up of large-scale, long-term natural gas supply contracts to new AI data centers and power generation facilities in Appalachia beginning in 2027 and 2028 remains central to EQT capturing growing in-basin demand for its production. This can support more visible revenue and free cash flow from both upstream and midstream operations.
See why 74 investors see EQT as 19% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of $67.50 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, EQT’s narrative can shift quickly if decarbonization policies tighten faster than expected, or if fresh environmental incidents trigger tougher oversight and higher costs.
