In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.
The natural gas industry was among the biggest winners this week, with US natural gas futures hovering around their highest since March. The sharp uptick comes on the back of record liquified natural gas exports, with the US becoming the first country to export over 10 million metric tons (mmt) of LNG in a single month in October.
These numbers are expected to rise even further in the future as the European Union looks for alternatives to Russian gas supplies and the buyers in Asia negotiate long-term supply commitments with the Trump administration in an effort to avoid retaliatory tariffs. The U.S. Energy Information Administration expects the country’s natural gas output and demand to both reach record highs this year.
The American coal sector also received a major boost on November 7 when the Interior Department added metallurgical coal to a list of ‘critical minerals’ that it deems essential for the American economy and national security. Moreover, the Department of Energy announced in late October that it would make $100 million available to refurbish and modernize the existing coal-fired power plants in the US, as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to revive the industry.

10. EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT)
Share Price Gains Between Oct 31 – Nov 7: 8.19%
EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT) is a leading natural gas producer in the US with production and midstream operations focused on the Appalachian Basin.
EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT) slid at the end of October after the company forecasted lower sales volumes for its fourth quarter, despite reporting better-than-expected profits in its Q3 report. However, the energy giant has since bounced back primarily due to a sharp increase in the price of natural gas. US natural gas futures climbed to their highest level since March this week on the back of the record-breaking LNG exports, with the US exporting a record 10.1 mmt of the liquid fuel in October.
The robust demand for American LNG is expected to boost even further as the EU seeks alternatives to Russian gas supplies and the Asian buyers negotiate long-term supply commitments with the White House.
