EQT Stock In Shambles: Down -12% With 7-Day Losing Streak
EQT (EQT) stock hit day 7 of a continuous streak of days with losses, with cumulative losses over this period amounting to a -12% return. The company has lost about $4.7 Bil in value over the last 7 days, with its current market capitalization at about $34 Bil. The stock remains 17.0% above its value at the end of 2024. This compares with year-to-date returns of 15.6% for the S&P 500.
EQT’s recent streak reflected broader energy market woes, as crude oil plunged to near five-year lows amid oversupply and weakening global demand. This sector turbulence, despite positive natural gas fundamentals, fueled bearish investor sentiment, evidenced by significant put option activity.
What is the point? Sustained weakness can be more than noise. It often signals shifting sentiment or deeper concerns. A multi-day losing streak may warn of further downside, or present an opportunity to buy if fundamentals are intact. Our take: There are only a couple of things to fear in EQT stock given its overall Strong operating performance and financial condition. Considering stock’s Moderate valuation, we think it is Attractive (see Buy or Sell EQT).
For quick background, EQT is a U.S.-based natural gas producer offering extensive reserves of natural gas, NGLs, and crude oil, with operations dating back to 1878.
