Antero Resources News Roundup

Here are the key news stories impacting Antero Resources this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Zacks raised Q1 2026 EPS to $0.83 (from $0.65) and Q2 2026 EPS to $0.49 (from $0.46), suggesting slightly stronger near‑term results than previously modeled — could support near‑term cash flow expectations.
• Neutral Sentiment: Zacks maintained a “Hold” rating across its reports, indicating no change in recommendation despite forecast revisions — signals analysts expect no material catalyst to flip conviction.
• Neutral Sentiment: Zacks published FY2028 EPS of $2.81 (new estimate) and left the consensus full‑year figure near $2.74, so longer‑term growth assumptions remain mixed.
• Neutral Sentiment: Independent valuation coverage (analysis) on recent share performance is available for investors wanting context on pricing and multiples. Article Title
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks cut FY2027 EPS sharply to $3.30 from $3.93 — a notable downgrade that reduces forward earnings expectations and may lower valuation multiples.
• Negative Sentiment: Several quarterly cuts: Q1 2027 lowered to $0.84 (from $1.12) and Q3 2027 to $0.80 (from $1.09) — these sizable downgrades suggest Zacks now models weaker production/pricing or margin pressure in key periods.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks trimmed Q4 2026 to $0.79 (from $1.08) and reduced FY2026 to $2.72 (from $2.87) — downward revisions across 2026 compress near‑term earnings growth expectations.
• Negative Sentiment: Additional smaller cuts to Q2/Q3 2026 and Q2/Q4 2027 round out the revisions, indicating the research team sees weaker cadence across multiple quarters rather than a single‑period blip.
