  • EQT is a Buy due to rapid deleveraging, improved cash flows, and a recent midstream acquisition strengthening its balance sheet and operational flexibility. As the lowest-cost Appalachian gas producer, EQT generates robust free cash flow even in weak markets, supporting investment, debt reduction, and shareholder returns. Surging natural gas demand (LNG exports, power generation) and potential valuation re-rating offer significant upside, with shares trading at an undemanding ~18× forward earnings.
