Top 3 Utilities Stocks That May Implode In March

J.P. Morgan analyst Zach Parham <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/nfg/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">retained a Neutral rating</a> on National Fuel Gas Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFG#NYSE">NFG</a>) with a price forecast of $81.00.
The analyst anticipates a solid operational performance for the company in the second quarter, with production expected to exceed consensus by 6%.
The analyst expects second-quarter EPS and EBITDA to align with the Street estimate, though with 6% higher volumes.
In particular, Parham sees second-quarter production of 1,203 MMcf/d (108.2 Bcfe), vs. consensus of 1,138 MMcf/d (102.5 Bcfe) and FY25 production of 420.2 Bcfe vs. Street estimate of 417.5 Bcfe.
The analyst projects flat production in the third quarter (108.3 Bcfe) and a slight decline in the fourth quarter (105.8 Bcfe), consistent with the company's production forecast.
Parham predicts the company will raise its FY25 guidance once more, driven by higher natural gas prices.
The analyst forecasts FY25 EPS of $7.43, surpassing the company&#8217;s guidance range of $6.50 &#8211; $7.00 (based on $3.50 per Mcf gas prices) and is also higher than the upper end of the previous guidance of $6.90 &#8211; $7.40 (based on $4 per Mcf gas prices).
The analyst projects a 20% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for EPS through 2027 and anticipates substantial upside for FY26 earnings, with an estimated EPS of $9.22, which is 13% higher than the consensus estimate of $8.17.
Despite NFG shares trading near all-time highs, the analyst notes the company remains active in its buyback program and expects $34 million in share repurchases this quarter.
The buyback which is expected to continue at a consistent pace throughout the year to utilize the $200 million share repurchase authorization fully, adds the analyst.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust North American Energy Infrastructure Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMLP#NYSE">EMLP</a>) and First Trust EIP Carbon Impact ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ECLN#NYSE">ECLN</a>).
Price Action: NFG shares are up 1.02% at $79.13 at the last check Wednesday.

Earnings Scheduled For January 29, 2025

Surging liquefied natural gas exports and a structurally strong demand outlook are setting the stage for higher natural gas prices, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">according to Goldman Sachs.</a> 
In a note shared Wednesday, analyst Neil Mehta delivered a bullish outlook for Antero Resources Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AR#NYSE">AR</a>) and National Fuel Gas Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFG#NYSE">NFG</a>) ahead of their fourth-quarter earnings.
&#8220;We view the secular demand outlook for natural gas as strong, with significant catalysts ahead in LNG export capacity ramping in 2025,&#8221; Mehta said.
Natural gas prices — as tracked by the U.S. Natural Gas Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) — have already staged an impressive rally, with Henry Hub futures more than doubling in the past six months to near $4 per million British thermal units.
Yet, Goldman sees more room to run, particularly for companies with exposure to key export hubs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Antero: Positioned For A Natural Gas Price Boom</h3>
Goldman Sachs reaffirmed its &#8216;Buy&#8217; rating on Antero Resources, raising its 12-month price target from $39 to $44 as the company stands to gain from increasing LNG exports.
&#8220;We believe AR is positively positioned to capture the inflection in natural gas prices given its unhedged position and exposure to Plaquemines," Metha said.
With direct access to Gulf Coast markets via the Tennessee Gas Pipeline 500L, Antero is set to benefit as U.S. LNG export capacity ramps up in 2025.
Goldman Sachs now expects Antero to generate free cash flow at an 8.5% yield in 2026, down from a previous 9.5% estimate, reflecting higher valuation confidence. 
The bank also raised its 2024-2026 EBITDA forecasts to $872 million, $1.52 billion, and $2.31 billion, adjusting for commodity price movements.
Still, risks remain. A drop in natural gas and NGL prices, unexpected cost pressures, or regulatory hurdles could weigh on Antero's outlook.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">National Fuel Gas: A More Defensive Play</h3>
Goldman Sachs maintained a &#8216;Neutral&#8217; rating on National Fuel Gas, though it raised its 12-month price target to $76 per share from $71. The bank also lowered its 2026 free cash flow yield estimate to 6.5% from 7%, reflecting improved confidence in natural gas demand and its impact on the company's non-regulated earnings.
"We expect shares to remain more defensive relative to our upstream natural gas coverage," Mehta said, noting that National Fuel Gas trades at a 7% free cash flow yield for 2026, below the 9% peer average.
Goldman Sachs increased its 2024-2026 EBITDA estimates to $1.19 billion, $1.37 billion, and $1.61 billion, slightly adjusting its prior forecasts based on updated commodity pricing and regulatory developments. 
The bank is watching the company&#8217;s New York Utility rate case, its 2025 capital spending plans, and a potential expansion of share repurchases.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Thursday showed that U.S. natural gas storage levels fell by 223 billion cubic feet in the week ending January 17, 2025, following a 258 bcf draw the previous week and missing expectations for a 244 bcf decline.
Henry Hub natural gas prices were up 1.6% to $4.01/MMBtu on Thursday, following a 5.4% surge the previous session. 
Shares of Antero Resources rose 0.7% by 10:30 a.m. ET, on track for the highest session close since mid-September 2022. Shares of National Fuel Gas Co. also edged up by 0.7%, eyeing their tenth positive session in the last eleven.
