7 Natural Gas Stocks to Own Before Winter - 4 of 7

 
 

#4 - EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT)

EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) is a natural gas exploration company with a mission to become the leading producer of clean-burning natural gas in the United States. Until the recent merger between Southwestern Energy and Chesapeake Energy, EQT was the largest natural gas producer in the United States, with over 670,000 acres of natural gas reserves.  

The company still has nearly 4,000 drilling locations and among the lowest breakeven costs in the industry. This is the price at which it is profitable for a company to drill. Right now, EQT’s breakeven cost is around $2, and natural gas trading is at $2.68. 

That assures investors that EQT is profitable. In fact, analysts project earnings growth of 150% in the next 12 months. Since September, several analysts have raised their price targets for EQT stock, which is up 13.8% in that time. Analysts believe there’s still about 15% upside for the stock.

Why I'm telling friends to avoid gold stocks (Ad)

Back in November, gold made a tiny move of 1.6%. But according to my backtesting by using a special type of gold trade, I would have seen a 141% gain in just a week. It happened again in March. Gold nudged up 1.2%. This time? A 104% overnight gain. And in June? A 1% gold move turned into a 74% gain in two weeks. Granted, there would have been smaller wins and those that did not work out, but you see, there's a reason I'm telling all my friends to hold off from buying gold or regular gold stocks right now. There's a more lucrative way to play the gold market as we enter a new breakout period. It's all about catching what I call "Acceleration Cycles."

And if you’d like to get your hands on this, here you go, the complete breakdown.
