Antero Resources Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the announcement.

Zacks Rank: Antero Resources currently sports a Zacks Rank #1.
Factors Driving the Better-Than-Expected Earnings
In the March quarter of this year, natural gas and oil prices were much higher than the year-ago quarter. Higher gas and oil price was favorable for Antero Resources’ exploration and production activities. This is because AR has a strong footprint in the Appalachian Basin in West Virginia and Ohio, which is a prolific gas play.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Antero Resources’ daily combined production is pegged at 3,152 million cubic feet equivalent per day (MMcfe/d), suggesting a decline from 3,322 MMcfe/d in the year-ago quarter.
Thus, although production is likely to have declined, higher commodity prices are expected to have more than offset the negative.
