EQT (EQT) is back in focus after UAB Ignitis selected one of its subsidiaries to supply liquefied natural gas under a long term contract running from 2027 to 2036.
The LNG deal lands at a time when EQT’s share price has eased, with a 7 day share price return of 4.35% and a 30 day share price return of 5.42%, despite a modest 1 year total shareholder return of 0.90%, building on a 5 year total shareholder return of 147.11%.

Most Popular Narrative: 25% Undervalued
EQT’s most followed narrative puts fair value at $67.44, above the last close of $50.81. This tilts the story toward upside in the eyes of that camp.
The ramp-up of large-scale, long-term (20-year) natural gas supply contracts to new AI data centers and power generation facilities in Appalachia, beginning in 2027-2028, positions EQT to capture outsized in-basin demand growth from electrification and digital infrastructure, creating predictable, high-quality revenue and substantially increasing upstream and midstream free cash flow.

Result: Fair Value of $67.44 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, EQT’s heavy reliance on natural gas and its concentration in the Appalachian Basin leave the story exposed if regulation tightens or long-term demand underwhelms.
