EQT Corporation

EQT Corporation is the largest natural gas producer in the United States, concentrated in the Appalachian Marcellus and Utica shale formations. After acquiring pipeline and midstream assets, it has moved toward an integrated model, positioning itself to supply growing demand from LNG exports and power generation, while remaining highly exposed to volatile gas prices. EQT's dividend history is short, having been restored only in recent years, and the yield is low as the company prioritizes debt reduction and reinvestment. Payouts depend heavily on natural gas markets, which are notoriously cyclical. This is primarily a commodity growth and deleveraging story rather than a reliable income holding, as its low score indicates.
