On September 17, EQT Corp fell 5.03% in regular trading, trading at $50.485/share, with turnover of $291 million. The decline came amid a sector-wide selloff across the Oil and Gas Exploration and Production industry.
The broader E&P sector experienced heavy selling pressure, with major peers all posting sharp losses. Among individual stocks, Diamondback Energy fell 7.57%, ConocoPhillips fell 5.45%, EOG Resources fell 5.29%, Apache fell 5.20%, and Devon Energy fell 5.12%. The uniform magnitude of declines across the sector points to macro-level or industry-wide headwinds rather than company-specific factors.
Notably, while European TTF natural gas prices recently surged past 80 EUR/MWh to three-year highs amid geopolitical supply disruptions and historically low storage levels, the US Henry Hub benchmark has remained weak at approximately $2.818/mmBtu, down 4.0% year-over-year. This price divergence poses a headwind for US-focused natural gas producers like EQT Corp, which operates primarily in the Appalachian Basin with approximately 25.0 trillion cubic feet of proved reserves across roughly 2.0 million gross acres, predominantly in the Marcellus play.
