Truist Securities analyst Gabe Daoud has maintained a Buy rating on EQT while adjusting the valuation outlook. The firm lowered the price target to $65 from the previous $74.

The revised target reflects an updated assessment of the stock's potential. EQT remains a Buy, indicating continued confidence in the company's performance despite the lower price objective.

Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. (R-N.J.) purchased shares of EQT Corp. on June 1, a move drawing attention due to his role on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. This committee oversees the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the agency responsible for regulating natural gas pipelines. The purchase comes shortly after FERC approved reforms aimed at accelerating approvals for natural gas infrastructure projects.

Kean's EQT Purchase

According to congressional trading disclosures, Kean invested between $1,000 and $15,000 in EQT shares. EQT is the largest natural gas producer in the U.S., with the majority of its production derived from the Marcellus and Utica shale regions in Appalachia. The stock has faced recent pressure, with shares down 3.03% year-to-date and 12.68% over the past 12 months.

Pipeline Approvals In Focus

In May, FERC approved a package of reforms designed to speed up reviews for pipeline upgrades, compressor station projects, and expansions of existing facilities. The Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker account highlighted that easier pipeline approvals could be a significant policy development for EQT. Natural gas producers depend on pipeline networks to transport fuel to utilities, industrial customers, and export facilities, making infrastructure capacity crucial for market access.
