Six Natural Gas Stocks Earn Money by Exporting, Drilling or Moving Gas

Long-term, take-or-pay contracts cover 95% of that capacity. They give Cheniere steady cash flow, which it uses to expand capacity, repay debt and return money to shareholders.

EQT, Expand Energy and Antero Resources are among the largest pure-play U.S. gas producers. They typically sell gas at the prevailing market price, so volatile prices hit their cash flows directly. Many use hedging contracts to lock in prices on part of their output.

EQT has agreed to buy Range Resources in a deal that will create a $50 billion gas company. The merger would lower EQT's cash flow breakeven to less than $2 per MMBtu (million British thermal units, a standard gas-pricing unit).

Expand Energy is the largest independent gas producer today but will drop to second place once EQT closes that purchase. It recently bought Twin Eagle, a gas marketer, to sell more of its output into premium markets.

Antero Resources has a low-cost structure, higher natural gas liquids production and a strong hedging program. It also holds LNG export contracts that help it win premium prices.

Kinder Morgan and Williams run pipelines that gather gas from wells and carry it to processing plants. They also own long-haul pipelines and storage terminals, and most of those assets earn fixed fees.

Trivago's quarter

Separately, trivago (NASDAQ: TRVG) reported 16% year-over-year total revenue growth on its third-quarter 2026 earnings call, held November 4, 2026. The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team said it did not include trivago among its 10 best stocks to buy now.

Chief Executive Johannes Thomas said developers used AI tools to rebuild the company's mobile app on one code base for iOS and Android. "AI wrote nearly 100% of the new code base," he said, adding that the team finished in four months a job it estimated would normally take 12 to 18.

Thomas also said trivago reaches members through email and notifications "at no dedicated marketing cost," and that this revenue is becoming a relevant profit contributor.

Chief Financial Officer Wolf Schmuhl said the company targets a 10% adjusted EBITDA margin by 2028. EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
