Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about EQT Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "EQT Corp.’s solid operations in the face of volatile business scenario, is a reflection of the Appalachian pure play’s cost reduction efforts. Attractive Appalachian resource potential and an extensive drilling program are likely to support production growth. Moreover, EQT Corp expects its 2017 production sales volume in the range of 810-830 Bcfe, up from 759 Bcfe for 2016. Following these strong fundaments, the company was able to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters with an average positive earnings surprise of 163.71%. However, in its price history EQT has lagged the Zacks Oil and Gas – U.S Exploration and Production market, over the last three months.  Additionally, the company’s capital budget relies heavily on future cash flows, which are subject to a number of variables. As such, we see EQT shares performing in line with the broader market." (3/7/2017)
• 2. KLR Group analysts commented, "We are decreasing our EQT target price $3 to $94 per share due to higher operating/overhead expense partly offset by higher NGL price realizations. Our composite weighted average cost-of-capital values the midstream business at ~12x next year's cash generation (EQT GP Holdings (EQGP, $27.78, NR)/ EQT Midstream Partners (EQM, $80.12, NR) valuation). Our '17 production estimate of ~830 Bcfe is at the high end of company guidance (810-830 Bcfe)." (2/3/2017)
