An update from EQT ( (EQT) ) is now available.

On February 4, 2026, EQT Corporation’s board-level Management Development and Compensation Committee approved the 2026 Short-Term Incentive Plan to govern annual bonus opportunities for executive officers and selected employees for services in calendar year 2026. The plan aims to keep total cash compensation competitive while tying payouts to performance goals that reflect both shareholder value and operational priorities.

The 2026 plan largely mirrors the 2025 version, with awards based on free cash flow per share, total capital expenditures, cash operating costs, environmental, health and safety intensity, and natural gas production. Incentive awards will be determined after year-end 2026, generally paid in cash in 2027, although the committee may settle awards in common stock or adjust payouts at its discretion, and in a change-of-control scenario, performance will be measured pro rata at target levels, affecting how and when participants receive compensation.

The most recent analyst rating on (EQT) stock is a Hold with a $62.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on EQT stock, see the EQT Stock Forecast page.
