EQT Corporation's FY2025 was transformative — revenue surged 73.7% to $9.07B, FCF margin reached 31.27%, and total debt was cut by $1.57B to $7.80B — yet the stock still trades at a 23% P/E discount and 16% EV/EBITDA discount to peer medians, making it the cheapest large-cap gas name on quality. Structural tailwinds from LNG supply disruptions, data center power demand, and approximately $307M of net insider accumulation over 24 months reinforce the bullish case, though the stock's position below its 200-day MA ($56.27) and fading smart money scores (from 0.0601 to 0.0379 over two quarters) warrant patience on entry.

What could go wrong

  • Gas price exposure. EQT is a pure-play natural gas producer; a sustained decline in Henry Hub prices would compress the strong margins achieved in FY2025 (operating margin 34.7%).
  • Technical overhead. Stock remains below its 200-day MA ($56.27) as of 2026-08-28, and smart money scores have declined for two consecutive quarters with fund count dropping from 66 to 61.
  • Execution risk on growth platforms. EQT's positioning for data center, power, and global LNG demand is early-stage; news coverage notes 'execution risks cloud the near term.'
  • Valuation optics. P/S of 3.68 sits 32.5% above the peer median of 2.77, suggesting the market questions revenue quality despite discounted P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples.

What would change my mind

200-day MA reclaim. Price closes above $56.27 on above-average volume, confirming a trend reversalbullish
Smart money reversal. Institutional fund count rises back above 66 and SM score reclaims 0.06 or higher in next 13F cyclebullish
Q3 2026 earnings. FCF generation continues at or above FY2025's $2.84B annualized pace with further debt reductionbullish
Margin compression. Operating margin falls materially below FY2025's 34.7% due to weaker gas pricing or rising costsbearish

Two scales, drawn separately on purpose: a sector median and one company’s multiple are not the same number and putting them on one axis invites a comparison neither series supports.
