EQT Corporation (US26884L1098) traded at $53.97 on August 25, 2026, after a session that left the stock down 0.06% overnight and 0.39% at the regular close. The company also carries a market cap of $33.55 billion and a 52-week range of $47.94 to $68.24.
Guidance still matters
The latest quarterly snapshot shows why the market is still parsing the name closely: Q2 FY2026 revenue was $1.68 billion, down 29.2% from the same quarter a year earlier, while EPS came in at $0.39 versus $0.45 in Q2 FY2025. The same update also raised full-year 2026 total sales-volume guidance to 2,375 Bcfe to 2,450 Bcfe and highlighted about $454 million in free cash flow for the quarter.
That mix matters because the stock is being judged on execution as much as price action. A smaller revenue base and a firmer volume outlook can point in different directions, so the next read-through is whether natural gas demand and realized pricing keep supporting cash generation.
Dividend and peers
Market data also shows a forward dividend of $0.66 a share, equal to a 1.23% yield, with an ex-dividend date of August 5, 2026. On the analyst side, the current average target sits at $67.68, which leaves the shares below that level even after the recent move.
Relative to other gas producers, EQT remains larger than Antero Resources on market value and smaller than ConocoPhillips, which keeps it positioned as a focused Appalachian gas name rather than a broad integrated peer. That comparison helps explain why volume guidance and free cash flow tend to matter more here than broad energy sentiment alone.
What EQT sells
EQT's core business is natural gas production, gathering, and transmission in the Appalachian Basin, with sales to marketers, utilities, and industrial customers. The company's current setup also includes marketing services, pipeline capacity management, and hedging activity tied to its natural gas portfolio.
Shares and setup
EQT stock closed at $54.00 on August 25, 2026, and the overnight trade printed at $53.97. The market cap stood at $33.55 billion as of August 2026, giving investors a clear size anchor as the shares trade between the mid-$40s and the high-$60s.
