EQT stock gains attention after Coller deal closes
Published on 08/31/2026 at 17:29 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
EQT Corp. (US26884L1098) is drawing a sharper investor spotlight after the combination with Coller Capital closed on August 31, 2026, while the latest quarter brought $1.68 billion in revenue and $0.39 in earnings per share. Shares opened at $54.56, with a market capitalization of $34.13 billion and a 52-week range of $47.94 to $68.24.
Deal closure and analyst tone
The deal headline gives EQT a fresh corporate angle, and the stock still trades below the $68.24 52-week high. Analysts continue to frame the name constructively, with twenty-seven firms covering the shares and an average 12-month target of $68.10, while the latest quarter missed consensus EPS by $0.02 and revenue by $80 million.
Quarterly numbers matter
The July 21, 2026 report showed how quickly the fundamentals can move: revenue fell 29.2% year over year to $1.68 billion, and EPS slipped from $0.45 in the prior-year quarter to $0.39. Net margin came in at 28.44%, return on equity at 9.31%, and the payout ratio stood at 15.31% after the company declared a $0.165 quarterly dividend.
What EQT sells
EQT's core business is natural gas, with production centered in the Appalachian Basin and supported by the Marcellus and Utica shale formations. That makes the company more exposed to gas-price swings than diversified integrated peers, even as its analyst support remains broad.
Price and market view
At $54.56, EQT trades below both the 200-day moving average of $56.41 and the average analyst target of $68.10. The gap leaves the market focused on whether the post-deal narrative and the next operating print can offset the 29.2% revenue decline from the July 21, 2026 quarter.
