Executive summary

Expand Energy is a natural gas producer, formed through the combination of Chesapeake Energy and Southwestern Energy. It drilled and operates wells in the Appalachian Basin and in Louisiana's Haynesville shale, and also produces some oil and natural gas liquids. Revenue comes from selling natural gas at market prices, so results depend on gas prices, drilling costs and pipeline access.

Revenue at EXPAND ENERGY Corp was $13.6 billion across the last twelve months. Across three years, sales expanded by 1.1% a year. Operating profit was 26.9% of revenue. It earned a return on invested capital of 13%. Debt after cash comes to 0.5 times EBITDA. Shareholders receive a dividend yielding 2.5%.

StocksXray gives EXPAND ENERGY Corp an X-Ray Score of 68 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 90% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is valuation (93) and its weakest is dividends (50).

Our fair value blend is $337.44 (range $293.31 to $363.36). At $93.41 the stock trades 72% below that blend, so the label is "Data under review" with high model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
