CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target remains $48, a 6x multiple of enterprise value to our 2027 EBITDA estimate, in line with AR's historical forward average. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate by $1.11 to $4.37 and our 2027 EPS estimate by $0.76 to $4.90. We see AR as a leading provider of relatively low-cost natural gas, as well as a healthy degree of NGL exposure. Management is 45% hedged in 2026 in the $3.90/MMBtu range, but that hedge protection drops to about the 30% range for 2027. Following the pending Ohio Utica divestiture, and the now-completed HG deal, AR's exposure to the Marcellus only rises. We see the Marcellus as a relatively lower-cost gas play. AR ended 2025 with a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of just 2.1x, down from 4.9x at the end of 2024, and yielding considerably improved financial flexibility in our view. We estimate that shares are trading at a sizable discount to AR's historical forward average, despite our view that earnings power should improve to nearly 2022-era levels.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our target price of $136. Our target is an average of a forward P/E of 8.5x our 2027 EPS view of $12.72 ($108) and our DCF model, using a terminal growth rate of 2.5%, WACC of 7.1%, and 10-year FCFF CAGR of 7.7% ($164). Q1 was particularly weak across all segments, with revenues down 10% and EBITDA down 35%. Margins also compressed 600 basis points, however looking through the weakness, Q2 margins are expected to improve to the 20-22% range ($2.6B-$2.7B). This in combination with the glass reinforcements sale ($280M in cash) being completed may be why shares are responding positively in pre-market trading.
