Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

For the period from approximately August 31, 2025, to December 21, 2025, the stock movement of CNX Resources cannot be directly analyzed for a 29% change as this timeframe is in the future. However, available information up to the most recent date provides insights into the company's performance and analyst outlook for 2025.



1. CNX Resources reported strong Q2 2025 earnings, significantly exceeding analyst forecasts for both EPS and revenue. This positive performance in July 2025 could have set a positive tone for the stock in the subsequent months.

2. The company increased its 2025 free cash flow guidance and production volume guidance in Q3 2025. In October 2025, CNX Resources raised its 2025 free cash flow guidance to approximately $640 million, up from $575 million, primarily due to additional asset sales.
