CNX Resources: Due For A Re-Rating With Earnings Set To Beat
Summary CNX Resources is positioned for a strong Q1 earnings beat, supported by commodity price tailwinds and robust hedging. CNX forecasts $550 million in 2026 free cash flow, yielding nearly 10% at current prices—its best post-COVID performance.

CNX Resources: Headwinds From Underwater Hedges
Summary CNX Resources' stock has dropped 28% since my December 1st sell recommendation, driven by deflated optimism around New Technologies and unfavorable Treasury rulings on 45V tax credits. CNX's extensive hedging strategy, with 85% of 2025 production hedged, limits cash flow upside in a rising natural gas price environment, posing a significant headwind. Despite the Treasury's restrictive 45V tax credit rules, CNX's New Technologies unit's contribution to free cash flow is now more predictable, reducing downside risks. CNX's underwater hedges for 2025 and 2026, totaling over $650 million in losses at the current strip, severely limit its ability to benefit from higher future natural gas prices.

CNX Resources: Look Elsewhere For Natural Gas Leverage
Summary CNX Resources' stock rose 102.6% YTD in 2024, outperforming peers due to heavy hedge coverage and optimism around its New Technologies unit. CNX's hedging strategy locks in prices, shielding cash flows from weak gas prices but limiting upside if gas prices rally. The New Technologies unit's potential tax credits for capturing coal mine methane have driven stock performance, but legislative approval remains uncertain. Despite recent outperformance, the Company's high valuation and fraying pillars of support suggest the stock is likely to underperform peers through 2025.

CNX Resources: Favorable Weather Conditions Create An Opportunity For Gains
Summary CNX Resources is an American independent exploration and production company focused on natural gas production in the Appalachian Basin.

CNX Resources devotes a considerable portion of its free cash flow to share buybacks and rewarding shareholders, so the increased FCF from rising gas prices should benefit shareholders. The company's stock is incredibly cheap relative to the broader market. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Oct 31
CNX Resources: Third Quarter Results Weak, But Firm Enjoys Financial Strength
Summary CNX Resources Corporation reported disappointing Q3 2023 earnings, missing analyst expectations for both revenues and net income. The decline in revenues was largely attributed to lower natural gas prices compared to the same quarter last year. Despite the challenging results, the company remains optimistic about long-term fundamentals and expects improved free cash flow in the future. The company has been focused on improving its balance sheet, which is nice as it has no near-term debt maturities. The valuation could be questionable compared to some of its peers, but it is not too bad overall. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Aug 24
CNX Resources: Growth, Value, Buybacks, And Deleveraging
Summary Revenue, operating income, and net income (LTM) are at record highs since 2014. Gross, EBITDA, and net margins (LTM) have been expanding for three quarters in a row.
