EQT Stock Climbs as Production Outlook Improves
A 7.6% surge in EQT shares followed the natural gas producer’s decision to lift its fiscal 2026 production guidance by 90 billion cubic feet equivalent. The move, buoyed by efficiency gains in compression infrastructure, helped offset a year-over-year decline in quarterly revenue as the company recalibrated its capital expenditure plans.
Financial results for the second quarter showed revenue reaching $1.81 billion, surpassing the $1.76 billion estimate set by FactSet analysts, despite a 29% drop compared to the previous year. Net income for the period landed at $211.4 million, or 34 cents per share, falling from the $784.1 million, or $1.30 per share, recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings per share hit 39 cents, slightly trailing the 41-cent consensus target.
