Analyst Views & Fundamentals

Analyst Consensus

Analysts have issued a mixed set of ratings, with a simple average of 4.20 and a weighted average of just 2.54, reflecting strong discrepancies. The price has risen 2.65% recently, but the weighted expectations suggest a mismatch with current market momentum.

Fundamental Factors

Key fundamental factors include:

• Revenue-to-Market Value (Revenue-MV): 91.71% – Model score: 1 (lowest of the key factors)
• Price-to-Book (PB): 2.53 – Model score: 3
• Profit-to-Market Value (Profit-MV): 119.18% – Model score: 0 (lowest)
• Net income to Revenue: 4.48% – Model score: 3
• Price-to-Book to ROE (PB-ROE): -67.52% – Model score: 3
• Long-term debt to working capital ratio: 7.06% – Model score: 2
• Fixed assets turnover ratio: 13.56% – Model score: 2
• Total assets turnover ratio: 10.81% – Model score: 2
• Asset-to-Market Value (Asset-MV): 153.45% – Model score: 4
• Inventory turnover days: 325.10 days – Model score: 1

While some factors like Asset-MV and Net income to Revenue appear strong, the Revenue-MV and Profit-MV drag down the overall fundamentals, with an internal diagnostic score of 5.37 (0-10).

Money-Flow Trends

Large-scale money is flowing out, with a negative overall trend and an inflow ratio of 49.15%. Specifically:

• Small-inflow ratio: 49.63%
• Medium-inflow ratio: 49.35%
• Large-inflow ratio: 50.83%
• Extra-large-inflow ratio: 48.47%

This suggests a retail and institutional sell-off, with large players showing a positive trend but retail and medium-sized investors pulling back. The fund-flow score is 7.9 (0-10), classified as “good”, but the negative sentiment among smaller players is a red flag.

Key Technical Signals

Eqt’s technical indicators show a strong, cautious, and optimistic trend with an internal diagnostic score of 7.42 (0-10). The key signals include:

• Bearish Engulfing – score: 7.88 (internal diagnostic), indicating strong bullish bias
• WR Oversold – score: 7.87 (internal diagnostic), suggesting a bullish bias
• WR Overbought – score: 7.56 (internal diagnostic), indicating a neutral rise
• MACD Golden Cross – score: 6.39 (internal diagnostic), showing a neutral rise

Recent chart patterns from the past five days include a WR Overbought signal on August 26, and a Bearish Engulfing pattern on August 27. These suggest volatility, with momentum still favoring the bulls.

Conclusion

Consider waiting for a pull-back before entering or adding to positions in EQT. While the technicals are robust and the fundamental factors show some strength, the mixed analyst ratings and negative money-flow from retail and medium investors suggest caution. Watch for clarity on the company's earnings and broader energy sector trends before committing capital.
