EQT Gains 0.24% on $630M Volume, Ranks 139th in Market Activity as Energy Sector Adjusts to Regulatory Shifts and Storage Dynamics

On September 26, 2025, EQT Corporation (EQT) closed with a 0.24% increase, trading at a volume of $0.63 billion, ranking 139th in market activity for the day. The stock's performance was influenced by sector-specific dynamics amid broader energy market adjustments.

Recent developments highlighted in the energy sector included regulatory updates on methane emission standards, which analysts noted could impact upstream operators like EQT. Additionally, a shift in natural gas storage estimates prompted short-term volatility, though EQT's position in Appalachian production assets positioned it to benefit from regional demand trends. No significant corporate actions or earnings reports were disclosed within the observed timeframe.

To make sure I back-test this strategy exactly the way you intend, could you please confirm a few details? 1. Universe • Should I use all U.S.–listed equities (NYSE + NASDAQ) as the pool each day, or do you have another market / universe in mind? 2. Trade mechanics • Entry price: buy at that day’s close and exit at the next day’s close (T + 1)? • Position sizing: equal-weight across the 500 names for each trading day? • Re-invest proceeds daily (i.e., full turnover of the portfolio every day)? 3. Frictions • Any commission or slippage assumptions you’d like me to include? Once I have these details I’ll set up the retrieval plan and run the back-test.
