This US Pennsylvania based natural gas producer recently reported revenue beat analyst expectations by 50% and its revenue is expected to grow another 28% annually for the next three years. It trades at 3x earnings, marginally over book value, and supports a 44% ROE. Cash reserves are growing, while debt is being retired. We recommend a stop-loss at $29.00, looking to achieve $44.50 -- upside potential of 23%. Yield 1.6%
(Analysts’ price target is $44.32)Energy has been the worst sector YTD and QTD, but he remains long energy. The fundamentals are in place. Natural gas is up 16% this quarter, though -70% from last year's high, but we seeing a bottoming in, which is why he bought EQT in the low-$30s and is approaching $40 now. Nat gas may be a better trade than crude oil.
Our PAST TOP PICK with EQT has triggered its stop at $40. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. When combined with the previous recommendations, this will result in a net investment gain of 14%.
Nat gas is an opportunity. We're working off existing inventories and excess supply. Also, nat gas feeds the insatiable demand for energy that's used by data centres.
