Antero Resources: First Quarter Should Be Better Still
Summary January's cold spells and the February cold spells as well have significantly reduced natural gas storage, benefiting Antero Resources. Natural gas prices began rising in December. It is not common for a company to have a stronger fourth quarter than the first quarter in the same fiscal year. Even weak La Niñas are known for cold spells, suggesting continued high demand for natural gas this winter. The natural gas pricing recovery may be underway. The first quarter is off to a strong start, with potential for exceptional performance due to ongoing cold weather. That is far from guaranteed though. Export capacity is growing significantly to improve the natural gas pricing outlook. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jan 23
Antero Resources: 2025 Free Cash Flow May Reach $1.3 Billion
Summary Antero Resources is now projected to generate over $1.3 billion in 2025 free cash flow. This is largely due to a $0.80 improvement in 2025 natural gas strip prices, contributing to a $700 million improvement in projected 2025 free cash flow compared to early November. Strip price improvements are smaller in later years, with a $0.15 improvement in 2027 strip prices compared to in early November. My long-term NYMEX natural gas price assumptions haven't changed from $3.75, although I did make positive tweaks to my assumptions around Antero's NGL prices. Antero's share price appears to overreact somewhat to changes in near-term commodity prices. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaShareholder Returns
