- Six-Month Slide: EQT stock has fallen 10% since early March, weighed down by a Q2 realized gas price of $2.65 per Mcfe, down from $2.81 a year earlier, and a broader energy selloff tied to crude’s summer swoon.

- Target Lag: Mean Street targets on EQT stock climbed from $60 to $67 over the past year while the close slipped from $58 to $55, a rare case of price and target moving in opposite directions.
Why EQT Stock Is Down 10% Even as Gas Demand Deals Pile Up
EQT Corporation (EQT) stock has slid 10% over the past six months, dropping from the low $60s in March to $55 by September 4, a stretch that touched a 52-week low in July, a point UBS analyst Josh Silverstein raised directly on the Q2 2026 earnings call, before the stock clawed back to $55.
The proximate cause traces straight to the commodity. EQT’s realized natural gas price fell to $2.65 per thousand cubic feet equivalent in the second quarter, down from $2.81 a year earlier, and that decline drove an adjusted profit of 39 cents per share, a cent short of the 40-cent consensus estimate, even as sales volume climbed 11% to 634 billion cubic feet equivalent. Record domestic output and comfortable storage levels kept Henry Hub prices soft into late July, and EQT stock fell further on August 5 when a Reuters report that Iran might allow Europe to help clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz sent crude lower and dragged gas producers down with it.
CFO Jeremy Knop addressed the disconnect head on when Silverstein asked how EQT would use its balance sheet against the weakness. “I think where the stock price is right now, I think we look to be more aggressive in the buybacks,” Knop said. That stance carries weight because EQT is closing in on its long-term net debt target of $5 billion, the threshold management has tied to more aggressive share repurchases.
The company backed the words with contracts. In the same quarter, EQT signed a 10-year gas supply deal with Competitive Power Ventures for a 2,100-megawatt plant in West Virginia, closed the $77 million Blackline Midstream propane acquisition, signed a five-year LNG offtake deal for Gulf Coast cargoes starting in 2028, and raised full-year production guidance by 90 billion cubic feet equivalent. None of that shows up in the share price yet. The gap between a commodity-driven slide and a business adding contracted demand every quarter is what makes EQT stock worth a second look now.
EQT Stock’s Analyst Targets Keep Climbing Even as Shares Lag
EQT stock carries 17 buy ratings, 4 outperforms, 4 holds and 1 no opinion rating as of September 4. Separately, 25 analysts publish a price target on the stock, and their mean sits at $67, which sits 22% above the $55 close.
That mean target has climbed from $60 in June 2025 to $67 now, rising in four of five quarterly snapshots before easing back from June 2026’s $69 peak. EQT stock has not followed that line: the close stood at $58 in June 2025, spiked to $64 by March 2026, then fell back to $53 by June and $55 by September. Analysts have spent a year marking their numbers higher on a stock that closes today almost exactly where it started, a divergence that lines up with the commodity pressure driving the six-month slide.
TIKR Values EQT Stock at $107, Pricing In a Multiyear Gas Demand Wave
TIKR’s mid-case model values EQT stock at $107 by December 2030, a 94% total return from the current $55 price, or 17% annualized over the next 4.3 years.
EQT stock trades at 7.53x NTM EV/EBITDA today, barely above the 7.02x trough it hit in June and still below the 7.90x multiple it carried in June 2025, even after two production guidance raises and four new demand contracts this year. The model isn’t underwriting multiple expansion to hit its 17% annualized return, it’s underwriting the multiple holding roughly flat while EBITDA and contracted volume catch up to the Appalachian demand wave management laid out in July.
The model’s case rests on the same demand pipeline management laid out on the July call and the same commercial execution behind the CPV and Blackline deals, a buildout the Street’s own $67 mean target has been climbing toward for a year even as the stock lagged behind it. TIKR’s model simply extends that logic further out than the Street has been willing to go, betting that the gas-price weakness pressuring EQT stock right now proves temporary against a multiyear Appalachian demand wave.
