Expand Energy's results reflect Chesapeake Energy alone. The company sold profitable Eagle Ford operations while merging to expand its presence in the high-cost Haynesville. Year-to-date adjusted net income is positive. But selling prices are miserable compared to others in the Marcellus Basin.
Expand Energy, built from Chesapeake's acquisition of Southwestern, is a $19.5 billion market cap company paying a 2.7% base dividend. Chesapeake acquired Southwestern for $7.4 billion, and the merger closed Oct. 1, 2024. Despite a rough year for natural gas, the company is well-positioned to supply natural gas to Midwest and mid-Atlantic utilities via its Marcellus production, and gas for LNG from Haynesville.
Shares of Chesapeake Energy Corp CHK climbed in early trading on Friday, as oil prices moved slightly higher after the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index report showed lower inflation in August than expected.
