What EQT does

Largest US natural-gas producer, pumping gas from Appalachian shale and moving it through its own pipelines.

Sells gas to utilities, power plants, LNG exporters and industry mostly at market-index prices, using hedges to smooth part of the output, while owning the pipelines that gather and carry it. The 2024 purchase of Equitrans Midstream, its former pipeline arm spun off in 2018, brought that infrastructure back in-house, and 2023 purchases of Tug Hill and XcL Midstream added acreage and gathering.

Products and services

  • Natural gas production (Marcellus/Utica)
  • Midstream gathering & transmission (Equitrans)
  • Natural gas liquids

Customers

  • utilities
  • LNG exporters

  • Upstream production + integrated…

What could go right

  • LNG export demand growth
  • Natural gas power generation for AI data centers

What could go wrong

  • Natural gas price volatility
  • Pipeline regulatory/permitting risk

Moat: narrow (scale, cost advantage). Low-cost Appalachian acreage plus owned midstream pipelines lower costs versus non-integrated peers.

The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Oil & Natural Gas (ONGC.NS), Ecopetrol SA Sponsored ADR (EC), Repsol (REP.MC), Inpex (1605.T), Indian Oil (IOC.NS), Aker BP (AKRBP.OL).
Is EQT expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 16.0× against a peer median of 7.7×, 2nd most expensive of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -2% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +26%, so the hurdle is -28 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has EQT stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -11.7% against +5.4% for the median peer; over one year -11.3%.
What is EQT's backlog?
EQT's remaining performance obligations (contracted revenue not yet recognised) were $10.6B at 30 Sep 2026, -9% on a year earlier.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
