Antero Resources has been treading water for the past six months, recording a small return of 1.5% while holding steady at $34.56. Is now the time to buy Antero Resources, or should you be careful about including it in your portfolio? Dive into our full research report to see our analyst team’s opinion, it’s free. We’re cautious about Antero Resources. Here are two reasons why there are better opportunities than AR, plus one stock we’d rather own. Cyclical sectors like Energy often flatter weaker operators during favorable price environments, but a longer-term lens separates those from businesses that can consistently perform across market cycles. Regrettably, Antero Resources’s sales grew at a sluggish 5.6% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This fell short of our benchmark for the energy upstream and integrated energy sector. Adjusted EBITDA margin strips out accounting distortions tied to depletion and historical drilling spend, providing a clearer view of the cash-generating power of the underlying asset base before financing and reinvestment decisions. Analyzing the trend in its profitability, Antero Resources’s EBITDA margin decreased by 5.1 percentage points over the last year. This raises questions about the company’s expense base because its revenue growth should have given it leverage on its fixed costs, resulting in better economies of scale and profitability. Its EBITDA margin for the trailing 12 months was 31.6%. Antero Resources’s business quality ultimately falls short of our standards. That said, the stock currently trades at 7.8× forward P/E (or $34.56 per share). While this valuation is optically cheap, the potential downside is big given its shaky fundamentals. We’re fairly confident there are better stocks to buy right now. We’d suggest looking at one of our top software and edge computing picks. WHILE YOU’RE HERE: Top 9 Market-Beating Stocks.

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Murphy Oil (MUR). Shares have added about 4.4% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500. But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Murphy Oil due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Murphy Oil Corporation before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late. Murphy Q1 Earnings & Sales Beat Estimates on Improved Realized PricesMurphy Oil Corporation delivered first-quarter 2026 adjusted net earnings of 32 cents per share, outperforming the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents by 10.3%. However, the bottom line lagged the year-ago quarter’s earnings of 52 cents by 42.8%. GAAP earnings were 37 cents per share compared with 51 cents in the year-ago quarter. The difference between GAAP and operating earnings was due to discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability between periods. Murphy Oil’s revenues were $733.5 million, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $689 million by 6.5%. Revenues were up 10.2% year over year. Murphy Oil produced 174,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/D) in first-quarter 2026 (excluding non-controlling interest in GOM), exceeding the guided range of 164,000-172,000 BOE/D. The strong production volume was due to outperformance in the Eagle Ford Shale and strong uptime in the Gulf of America. Total costs and expenses were $595.3 million, up 14.1% from $521.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher exploration expenses.Interest expenses in the quarter were $28.98 million, up 23.2% compared with $23.52 million in the year-ago quarter.The company is exploring new opportunities in the Gulf of America, Morocco, Côte d’lvoire and Vietnam, which will further strengthen its production volume and operations.Murphy Oil increased its quarterly dividend rate by 8%, resulting in an annual dividend of $1.40 per share. The company distributed a total dividend worth $50 million in the first quarter. Murphy Oil also buys back shares and still has $550 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization. Murphy Oil enjoyed the benefits of improved Crude oil, condensate and natural gas prices both in domestic and interna...

A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Antero Resources (AR). Shares have lost about 8.8% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500. But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Antero Resources due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts. Antero Resources, a leading natural gas producer, reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.15 per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.22. The bottom line improved from the year-ago quarter’s level of 78 cents. Total quarterly revenues of $1,945 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,669 million. The top line increased from the year-ago figure of $1,353 million. The lower-than-expected quarterly earnings can be attributed to lower oil and C2 Ethane production and higher operating expenses. Higher natural gas production partially offset the negatives. Total production in the first quarter was 347 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe), an increase from 306 Bcfe recorded a year ago. The figure beat our estimate of 341 Bcfe. Natural gas production (accounting for 68% of the total production) was 236 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcf), up 21% from 195 Bcf recorded a year ago. Our estimate for the same was pinned at 230 Bcf. Oil production in the first quarter amounted to 816 thousand barrels (MBbls), down 4% from 852 MBbls registered in the year-ago period. Our estimate for the same was pegged at 587 MBbls. Antero Resources reported production of 6,836 MBbls of C2 Ethane, down 8% from the year-ago quarter’s recorded figure of 7,442 MBbls. Production of 10,872 MBbls of C3+ NGLs was 6% higher than the 10,229 MBbls registered a year ago. Weighted natural-gas-equivalent price realization in the quarter was $5.37 per thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe), higher than the year-ago quarter’s figure of $4.55. Realized prices for natural gas increased 39% to $5.57 per Mcf from $4.01 recorded a year ago. The company’s oil price realization in the quarter was $57.22 per barrel (Bbl), lower than the $59.08 recorded a year ago. The realized price for C3+ NGLs declined to $37.83 per Bbl from $45.65 reported a year ago. However, the realized price f...

Record production and cash flow: Antero reported a company‑record Q1 production of 3.9 Bcfe/d (up 13% YoY), is guiding 2026 production to ~4.1 Bcfe/d (~20% growth), and generated $657 million of free cash flow in the quarter. HG acquisition accelerating synergies: The HG deal—adding ~400,000 net acres and ~400 drilling locations—is integrating ahead of schedule, is expected to lower corporate cash costs by about $0.30/Mcfe, and management has raised full‑year synergy expectations to over $80 million while already funding more than half the transaction. NGL export tailwinds and financial targets: Management sees Middle East disruptions and rising U.S. export capacity driving higher C3+ realized pricing (~$12/bbl, ~ $550M incremental FCF in 2026), has hedged >60% of 2026 gas volumes, targets ~1x leverage by mid‑2026, and may pursue buybacks once the HG term loan is repaid.

Oil’s Outlook Looks Ugly—That’s Why These 3 Energy Plays Matter Antero Resources (NYSE:AR) executives highlighted record production, strong free cash flow generation, and early benefits from the recently closed HG acquisition during the company’s first-quarter 2026 investor conference call. Management also discussed shifting global energy dynamics tied to Middle East disruptions and growing demand catalysts for U.S. natural gas and NGLs, while reiterating a conservative approach to near-term guidance amid uncertainty.

He added that production growth is expected to continue through 2026, with full-year production expected to average 4.1 Bcfe/d, representing “a nearly 20% increase from 2025.” Kennedy also pointed to the company’s ability to “capture substantial premiums to benchmark prices,” which, combined with operational performance, generated free cash flow of $657 million, which he described as the second-highest quarterly level...

Achieved 100% operational uptime during Winter Storm Fern, contributing to record production of 3.9 Bcfe per day, a 13% year-over-year increase. Integration of the HG acquisition is significantly ahead of schedule, with the first 6-well pad already online and achieving lateral lengths exceeding 18,000 feet. Realized $15 million to $20 million in operating synergies immediately post-close, leading to an upward revision of full-year synergy targets from $50 million to over $80 million. Strategic shift toward developing legacy dry gas acreage for the first time in a decade to optimize margins and lower corporate cash costs by an expected $0.30 per Mcfe. Leveraging a unique export strategy as the largest U.S. producer/exporter of NGLs to capture international price premiums amid global supply disruptions. Utilized $750 million in free cash flow and divestiture proceeds to fund over half of the HG acquisition cost within the first quarter of ownership. Forecasts 2026 full-year production of 4.1 Bcfe per day, representing a nearly 20% increase over 2025 levels driven by HG asset contributions. Expects to reach a 1x leverage target by mid-2026, six months ahead of prior guidance, due to improved NGL fundamentals and accelerated debt repayment. Anticipates U.S. propane storage could fall below the five-year average by late summer 2026 under a scenario where new dock capacity adds 100,000 barrels a day of exports to replace lost Middle Eastern supply. Maintains a flexible $1 billion to $1.2 billion CapEx budget, with the incremental $200 million treated as discretionary growth capital pending second-half gas price signals. Strategic focus for 2027 shifts toward share buybacks once the HG-related term loan is fully retired, assuming current commodity strip pricing holds.

Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates. Antero Resources, which belongs to the Zacks Oil and Gas - Exploration and Production - United States industry, posted revenues of $1.95 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 16.53%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.35 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

Antero Resources shares have added about 11.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.3%. While Antero Resources has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook.

Delivered 5% year-over-year EBITDA growth despite adverse winter weather, attributed to increased gathering, compression, and processing volumes. Successfully closed the company's largest acquisition to date in February 2026, ahead of initial expectations, expanding the footprint in the Marcellus basin. Leveraged integrated planning with Antero Resources to maintain zero outages during winter storms, demonstrating the operational benefits of the upstream-midstream partnership. Commissioned a dry gas compression expansion using relocated and repurposed units to support the first dry gas Marcellus pad in over a decade. Positioned as the 'industrial builder' of Northern West Virginia, utilizing a greenfield expansion model across gathering, compression, and water infrastructure. Strategic focus shifted toward enhancing connectivity in dry gas areas and newly acquired assets to meet growing domestic and international energy demand. Expects high-single-digit EBITDA growth for the foreseeable future, driven by the integration of the acquired water system and servicing completions starting in 2027. Anticipates an increase in capital expenditures over the coming quarters to align with the full-year budget during the improved construction season. Projects leverage will decline toward a long-term target of 3.0 times by year-end 2026, supported by gradual EBITDA growth from gathering and freshwater delivery. Identified incremental return opportunities in local power projects and data center demand, requiring infrastructure laterals and water system build-outs. EBITDA growth could exceed high-single-digit targets in 2027 and 2028 if Antero Resources maintains a three-rig and two-completion crew program without building DUCs. Allocated approximately $25 million for the full integration of acquired HG assets, with the process currently about halfway complete. Water system integration is on track for completion by year-end 2026, while gathering system connectivity required a modest $5 million investment. Utilized free cash flow after dividends to finance a portion of the $1.1 billion acquisition and execute opportunistic share repurchases. Maintained over $800 million of liquidity and a leverage ratio in the low three-times range following the significant acquisition close.
