Decoding EQT's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

EQT's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQT#NYSE">EQT</a>) short percent of float has risen 15.74% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 22.54 million shares sold short, which is 4.56% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.96 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>EQT Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733840111_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for EQT has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing EQT's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, EQT's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.86%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

EQT Enters Definitive Agreement With Funds Managed By Blackstone Credit & Insurance To Form New $3.5B Midstream Joint Venture

U.S. natural gas prices are on fire this month, surging by about 50% to reach $3.40 per million British thermal units as of Nov. 21, the highest level <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42113449/natural-gas-prices-spike-to-over-1-year-highs-oil-surges-to-70-as-russia-fires-intercontinental-ballistic-missile-to-ukraine">in over a year.</a>
November is poised to mark the strongest surge in natural gas at the Henry Hub pricing point since July 2022, fueled by heightened geopolitical tensions, unseasonably cold U.S. weather and rising export demand.
For investors, this sharp price rebound has cast a spotlight on natural gas stocks poised to benefit from the renewed momentum in the natural gas markets.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are Natural Gas Prices Spiking?</h1>
The price rally has been driven by a combination of factors:
<ul>
<li>Plunging Temperatures Across the U.S.: After a relatively warmer-than-average start to the winter, the situation has drastically changed over the past few weeks. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts the first major snowfall of the season for parts of the central and northern Appalachians, with lower elevations in Pennsylvania and New York also bracing for accumulation. This colder weather has pushed demand for heating sharply higher.</li>
<li>Geopolitical Tensions Between Russia and Ukraine: Russia's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on Thursday, combined with Ukraine&#8217;s recent use of Western-made missiles to target Russian territory, has added a geopolitical risk premium to natural gas markets.</li>
<li>Supply Concerns in Europe: Austria&#8217;s OMV Group revealed earlier this month that it will stop receiving natural gas volumes from Russia&#8217;s Gazprom, reigniting fears of winter supply shortages in Europe and potentially shifting demand to the U.S. for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">7 Natural Gas Stocks Benefiting From The Rally</h1>
As natural gas prices rally, several U.S. energy companies stand to gain from higher commodity prices and increased demand. Here are seven stocks to watch:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. EQT Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQT#NYSE">EQT</a>)</h4>
EQT is the largest natural gas producer in the U.S., with operations in the Appalachian Basin. The company benefits directly from higher domestic gas prices.
Shares of EQT Corp. are up 30% month-to-date, on track for their strongest performing month since March 2022. 
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>)</h4>
As a midstream operator, ONEOK processes and transports natural gas, profiting from higher pipeline volumes as demand increases.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRGP#NYSE">TRGP</a>)</h4>
Targa specializes in natural gas gathering and processing, positioning it to benefit from both domestic demand and export growth.
Targa shares have rallied 24% this month, on track to notch the 10th straight positive month and the strongest one in four years.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>)</h4>
One of the largest pipeline operators in the U.S., Kinder Morgan&#8217;s infrastructure is critical for natural gas transportation across regions.
Kinder Morgan has seen its stock rally 16% in November, potentially positioned for the best month since November 2020.

Shares of Antero Resources have soared 32% month-to-date, following a 9.7% drop in October.

As the top exporter of liquefied natural gas from the U.S., Cheniere benefits from global demand for natural gas, particularly in Europe.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">EIA Natural Gas Outlook: Winter Demand and LNG Exports To Support Prices</h1>
The EIA's latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) is bullish about near-term natural price gains, supported by robust winter demand and growing LNG exports.
With colder-than-expected weather forecasted for the season, the EIA has increased its consumption estimates, particularly in residential and commercial sectors where heating needs dominate. Residential and commercial demand is now expected to average 36 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), representing a 4% increase from last winter.
In 2025, U.S. marketed natural gas production is projected to grow by 1%, with the Permian Basin leading the way with a 6% increase, followed by a 5% rise in output from the Eagle Ford region. 
The EIA anticipates Henry Hub natural gas prices — as tracked by the United States Natural Gas Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) – to climb steadily in early 2025, averaging $2.80 per million British thermal units in the first quarter and $2.90/MMBtu for the entire year. This represents a significant 33% increase compared to the 2024 average of $2.20/MMBtu.
Liquefied natural gas exports are expected to play a critical role in driving demand next year, with exports projected to increase by nearly 2 Bcf/d in 2025. The growth in LNG capacity, coupled with sustained international demand, further strengthens the outlook for higher natural gas prices in the coming year.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs Natural Gas Outlook: $4.00 Delayed Until 2026</h1>
Goldman Sachs offers a more cautious perspective on natural gas prices, citing delays in the construction and operation of new LNG export facilities across the Americas.
According to analyst Samantha Dart, these delays are expected to soften the trajectory of U.S. natural gas price increases and could hinder Europe's ability to replenish its gas storage levels for the 2025 season.
Goldman Sachs revised its 2025 Henry Hub price forecast downward to $3/MMBtu, from a previous estimate of $3.40/MMBtu.
The bank also pushed its projection for U.S. natural gas prices to hit $4/MMBtu to 2026, postponing it from the fourth quarter of 2025. 
The firm indicates that while slower U.S. LNG export growth might ease domestic price pressures temporarily, it poses challenges for Europe, which will have fewer LNG cargoes at its disposal to fill storage next summer.
