EQT targets higher 2026 gas output with lower capex; signals improved cash flow

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The combination of higher 2026 gas output and lower capex suggests stronger free cash flow and improved debt metrics, which can support multiple expansion and earnings quality. Historical upstream examples show that disciplined growth coupled with cash flow generation tends to lift valuations when commodity prices cooperate. The lack of numeric guidance adds some execution risk, limiting near-term upside.
