Range Resources

A natural-gas driller in Pennsylvania: it pumps gas and gas liquids out of one rock layer, the Marcellus Shale, and sells them at home and abroad.

Our viewNeutral Medium conviction
The scores
The profile · 1-4
Growth2/4 →

Production growth is deliberately modest and demand-contingent (2.24 to 2.6 Bcfe/day by 2027), well below cohort revenue growth leader Expand Energy.

Business quality3/4 →

A genuine low-cost, long-life asset base with an externally corroborated LNG tailwind, but other-basin supply and data-center self-supply both compete for it.

Financial position4/4 →

0.8x debt-to-EBITDAX, $881M of net debt against a $9.0B market cap, and net debt reduced in every recent period disclosed.

Execution record4/4 →

Record drilling and completion efficiency this quarter, unit costs down year over year, and an 18-year unbroken streak of positive reserve revisions.

Per share capture4/4 ↑

Buybacks and dividends funded entirely from free cash flow with no offsetting dilution, unlike the debt- or stock-funded acquisitions in this repo's other 2026 theses.

Potential2/4 →

A real, externally corroborated LNG and power-demand tailwind, but only one small signed contract (75 MMcf/day) exists against a much larger, still-uncontracted pipeline.

Risk profile3/4 →

Low leverage and diversified markets cushion the risk that the 2027 gas curve has softened, about 15% by an analyst's estimate, despite the demand story.

Valuation2/4 →

EV/EBITDA sits above its own five-year median and is the dearest of its priced peers, as is book value; no margin of safety visible.

Evidence quality3/4 →

Central claims rest on primary filings and calls, cross-checked against independent EIA and AGA data, though EBITDA-based cohort metrics rest on two priced peers.

The Verdict

We rate Range Resources neutral. It pumps natural gas and gas liquids from Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale, and it is a solid, carefully run business: reserves have been revised up eighteen years running, debt is low, and a ten-year deal supplies a power plant. The price is full, not stretched: the shares already cost more for that quality than any rival that can be compared, with no discount for the risk in gas prices. The view hinges on gas prices for 2027 firming and on more signed power or data-centre contracts. Since 26 October EQT has agreed to buy it for 0.987 EQT shares each, so its price now follows EQT's.

The long caseGas exports and power-hungry data centres are calling on more Appalachian gas; that demand must reach the price Range is paid before its careful operation benefits.

Range's FY2025 10-K states 18.1 Tcfe of proved reserves 'with positive performance revisions for the 18th consecutive year,' and debt-to-EBITDAX (non-GAAP) of 0.8x at year-end 2025.
against this

A multi-decade streak of positive reserve revisions reflects historically conservative initial booking and strong well performance, but is not a guarantee of future revisions; a large enough downward commodity-price move can still force negative revisions under SEC reserve-reporting rules regardless of operational execution.

Range's debt-to-EBITDAX was 0.8x at year-end 2025, and net debt of $881M as of 2026-06-30 remains low relative to a roughly $9.0B market capitalization at the 25 September 2026 close; the research pack's own cohort data does not carry a direct leverage-ratio comparison across EQT, Antero and Expand Energy, so this is Range's own disclosed figure rather than a cohort-relative measurement.

Range signed a 10-year supply agreement for 75 MMcf/day to a Midwest power plant, disclosed in the FY2025 results release; management said on the Q2 2026 call this reflects a broader pattern of 15-plus-year international export deals and five-plus-year deals with Japanese utilities on the NGL/LNG side.
against this

75 MMcf/day is a small fraction (about 3%) of Range's roughly 2.3-2.4 Bcfe/day of total production, so while the deal's term and structure are notable, its direct volume and revenue contribution are modest against the company's overall scale.

On the filed-competitor cohort at the 25 September 2026 close, Range's EV/EBITDA, the frame metric, is 7.1x against a two-peer median of 4.9x, the dearest of three (Expand Energy 3.6x, EQT 6.2x; Antero withheld, C30); its EV/EBIT is 9.1x against 7.95x (rank 2 of 3, EQT dearer at 9.3x). Its EV/Sales (3.0x), P/E (10.6x) and P/S (2.7x) all rank third of four (above the three-peer median but not the richest); its P/FCF (7.7x) ranks second of four against a 7.9x median, Antero at 7.6x being cheaper, in a group spanning 7.6x to 8.4x; its P/B (1.9x) and P/TBV (1.9x) are the richest of the four, against three-peer medians of 1.3x and 1.2x.

EV/EBITDA, the frame metric, now prints, because Expand Energy's withholding was a defect in this repo's filed-series reader (C23 retired, C30): Range is the dearest of three on it. And the P/FCF lead has gone: Antero is fractionally cheaper at the new close, so Range is second of four rather than the cheapest, in a group priced within a narrow band.

One of Range's three filed-competitor peers, Antero, is withheld from EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT and operating-margin comparisons because the vendor's TTM operating margin (21.0%) sits 3.7 points, 14.9% of the filed base, below Antero's own XBRL figure (24.7%); EQT and Expand Energy both pass (Expand's vendor 26.0% against 26.9% filed), so those three metrics print a two-peer reading. Expand's withholding in the pack frozen on 2026-08-24 was a defect in this repo's filed-series reader, fixed 2026-09-26, not a vendor error.

On the Q2 2026 call a Goldman Sachs analyst, Neil Mehta, said the 2027 gas curve had 'softened by probably 15% this year' even though data-centre, power and LNG demand had been 'really robust'. The chief executive did not dispute the figure: he answered that there is 'a disconnect between what we think long-term the pricing should look like and where we're at today', and gave Range's internal view that LNG feedgas reaches 24 Bcf/day by the end of 2027.
against this
  • The 15% is an analyst's approximation, prefaced 'probably', and neither the research pack nor any Range filing records the 2027 futures strip, so the direction is uncontested on the call but the size of the move is unverified.
  • The chief executive's answer concerned front-month pricing and storage levels; he conceded no 2027 figure, so the most the call supports is that management did not dispute the analyst's characterisation.

The company

Range drills into the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and sells what comes out: mostly natural gas, plus liquids such as ethane, propane and butane, and a little oil. It ran 1,579 producing wells in 2025, averaging 2.24 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent a day.

Its proved reserves are 18.1 trillion cubic feet equivalent, 71% already drilled, on land management says has more than 50 years of life.

How it makes money

Range is paid the market price for its gas and liquids, adjusted for where it delivers them. In the June 2026 quarter it received $3.53 per thousand cubic feet equivalent after hedges, 64 cents above the main American gas benchmark. Producing it cost $1.92 in cash, and the gap between the two is the business.

Who runs it

Dennis Degner, an engineer who joined in 2010 and ran its Pennsylvania operations, has been chief executive since 2023; Mark Scucchi has run the money since 2018 and cut the debt by more than half. Insiders own about 1% of the company, so big fund managers, not the managers, are the owners. The bonus rides on keeping costs low, cash flow and returns on capital; the long-term shares ride on beating other gas producers' share prices. Nothing pays for signing new buyers.

Range's 2025 cash bonus paid formulaically on cash unit costs (15%), free cash flow (20%), return on average capital employed (15%), drilling and completion cost per unit (15%) and drilling rate of return (10%), plus a 25% discretionary part. Free cash flow came in at $632M against a $700M target. For 2026 the drilling-return metric was dropped and the remaining five weigh 20% each. The CEO's and CFO's long-term awards are 60% performance units and 40% time-vested units; the 2026 units pay two-thirds on total return against gas-weighted peers and one-third on absolute total return over 2026 to 2028.

Why it wins, and who could beat it

Why customers come back

When everyone sells the same gas, the winner is the cheapest and most careful producer. Range's reserve estimates have been revised up 18 years in a row, and its debt is 0.8 times a year's cash profit.

That lets it keep drilling and buying back shares through a price slump that would force a more indebted rival to cut. Of its three filed rivals, none earns more on shareholders' money than its 19.3%.

The threat

The threat is more gas, not a better product. Other basins can grow into the same export and power demand faster than pipelines out of Appalachia get built, and an analyst on the call put this year's fall in the price for 2027 delivery at about 15%. Data-centre owners may also build their own gas generation rather than buy from a power plant.

How big it could get

How big this could get

The new demand is gas cooled into liquid for export, and gas burned for power. Export plants took about 18.1 billion cubic feet a day through late June 2026, up 19%. The government's energy agency expects exports to rise about 9% in 2027; management's own forecast is far higher.

Power and data-centre demand near its wells is described as encouraging, but nobody has sized it.

The EIA projects US LNG exports rising to about 17.0 Bcf/day in 2026 and a further roughly 9% (1.5 Bcf/day) in 2027 to about 18.5 Bcf/day; this is meaningfully below management's own (uncorroborated) claim that feedgas reaches approximately 24 Bcf/day by the end of 2027.
against this

EIA's export figure and management's feedgas figure are not perfectly comparable metrics (exports versus feedgas can differ due to plant fuel use and boil-off), so the gap between 18.5 Bcf/day and 24 Bcf/day is not necessarily a direct contradiction, but no independent source corroborates management's specific 24 Bcf/day figure.

What growth costs

Range spends nothing on research or advertising; growing means drilling more wells and paying for more pipeline space, and both cost about the same for each extra unit of gas. So growth adds profit dollars without making the business more profitable per unit. What moves its margin is the gas price.

Quarter ended June 2026, filed figures.

-3%
Sales growth
against the same quarter a year earlier
-19.4%
Growth from the quarter before
against 26.1% the quarter before that

The June quarter beat forecasts, at $0.79 a share on the company's adjusted measure, while cash costs fell 3%. Its liquids sold further above their benchmark than ever before, and it narrowed its price guidance for the year in its favour.

The official profit, $0.83 a share, was higher still, but $74M of it was a paper gain on its price hedges rather than gas sold.

What it did to the thesisIt showed Range running its wells cheaply and selling its gas liquids well, which supports the quality half of the case. It said nothing new about the gas price for the next two years or new long-term buyers, which is why the view stays Neutral.

The quarter in detail

Sales growth from the previous quarter, filed figures. The company has restated its own history, so a quarter either side of the restatement may describe a different business; n/c marks one that does not compare.

Earnings per share $0.79 against $0.66 expected; $0.83 as filed, the gap being what the company adds back.

Narrower differential guidance is management's own forward estimate issued alongside results it controls the framing of; the actual realized differential in Q2 2026, ($0.47)/mcf, still sits outside the low end of even the updated ($0.35)-($0.40) guided range, so the guidance has not yet been demonstrated in a reported quarter.

How we read the multiple

Debt included, buyers pay about 7.1 times Range's yearly cash profit; the two rivals that can be compared have a middle of 4.9. Against net worth, what it owns minus what it owes, no filed rival costs more. On profit and sales it sits mid-pack.

The extra buys its record, its low debt and the best returns of the four on the money invested. It pays nothing yet for demand that nobody has signed.

Against its own history. A little dearer than its own normal on profit and sales, in a year when the price of future gas fell: buyers pay for the record, not the outlook.

Where we disagree with the market

The market believes

A clean winner from AI power demand and gas exports, with a strong balance sheet.

We believe

The demand is real, but it has not reached the price of gas: 2027 gas softened this year, about 15% by one analyst's estimate.

Analysts are more cautious than the story: 24 buy, 37 hold and 1 sell. The softer 2027 price came up in an analyst's question on the call, not in the raised guidance the coverage was written around.

We are wrong if the 2027 to 2028 gas price firms and Range signs more multi-year power or data-centre contracts like the Midwest deal.

What could go wrong, and how we would know

The risks

  • Gas prices ahead are falling. An analyst put this year's fall in the 2027 price at about 15%, and export plants took slightly less gas in the June quarter than in March.
  • More supply from everywhere. Management expects American output to reach 110 to 112 billion cubic feet a day by the end of 2026.
  • Demand that never signs. One power contract so far; the rest is described, not committed.
  • The liquids bonus fades. Its export liquids sell a record amount above their benchmark, which could fall back if new American export capacity outruns demand abroad.
  • Bought for shares. Range's value follows EQT's price until the deal closes; a failed vote or antitrust block would leave it standing alone.

Lower 48 natural gas production is expected to reach approximately 110-112 Bcf/day by the end of 2026 per management's own framing on the Q2 2026 call, continuing to grow even as LNG demand also grows - a supply response that could offset some of the price-supportive effect of rising LNG and power demand.

The EIA projects US LNG exports rising to about 17.0 Bcf/day in 2026 and a further roughly 9% (1.5 Bcf/day) in 2027 to about 18.5 Bcf/day; this is meaningfully below management's own (uncorroborated) claim that feedgas reaches approximately 24 Bcf/day by the end of 2027.
against this

EIA's export figure and management's feedgas figure are not perfectly comparable metrics (exports versus feedgas can differ due to plant fuel use and boil-off), so the gap between 18.5 Bcf/day and 24 Bcf/day is not necessarily a direct contradiction, but no independent source corroborates management's specific 24 Bcf/day figure.
