EQT to Buy Range Resources in $12.8 Billion All-Stock Deal
The combination would create the biggest U.S. natural gas producer, Bloomberg reports.
EQT has agreed to buy rival Range Resources. The deal is all stock and is valued at about $12.8 billion.
Bloomberg says the merged company would be the largest natural gas producer in the U.S. It would account for roughly 7% of total American output.
Range shareholders would receive 0.987 EQT shares for each Range share they hold. The companies expect the deal to close in the first quarter of 2027, pending approvals.
Key points
- All-stock deal valued at about $12.8 billion
- Range holders get 0.987 EQT shares per Range share
- Expected to close in Q1 2027, subject to approvals
What it could mean for $EQT / RRC
Holders of either stock would be tied to one much larger gas company. The exchange ratio sets how much EQT stock Range owners receive, so it could shape how each side shares in any future gains or losses. Investors will likely be watching for regulatory approvals and how the two companies combine before the expected close.
Today's gas-industry merger is a reminder of how much attention energy companies draw from investors. This offer looks at a different kind of energy story, one tied to what it calls the next Exxon; its claims are the promoter's own and worth checking independently.
The next Exxon is hiding in plain sight
Three oil giants buried it. One company just cracked it.
Dear Reader, In the 1970s, three oil giants found it. They buried it to protect oil.
Sixty years later, one company finally cracked it. Google just signed a 15-year deal.
The biggest names in tech are moving in fast. A new Exxon is rising, and Wall Street is still pricing it like a sleepy little energy stock.
That window does not stay open once the crowd wakes up.
Merger announcements like this can move both stocks quickly, and investors weighing a reaction may want a framework for managing risk. This offer describes a 5-part options approach; it doesn't say anything about EQT, Range or natural gas, and any trading carries risk.
