Stock events for CNX Resources Corp. (CNX)
In September 2025, CNX acquired nearly 23,000 acres of Utica Shale oil-and-gas rights for $50 million, expected to boost operational efficiency and increase production volume. In January 2026, CNX reported strong fourth-quarter results, exceeding analyst expectations, but the stock closed lower due to Raymond James reiterating a "Market Perform" rating, noting flat production and an unfavorable hedge book for 2026. In February 2026, CNX expanded its share repurchase authorization to $4.45 billion and completed a $500 million senior notes offering at 5.875% due 2034, tendering approximately 84% of its higher-cost 6.000% notes due 2029 to reduce borrowing costs and extend the maturity profile. Analyst ratings varied, and Director Bernard Lanigan, Jr. sold a significant number of shares in February 2026.
