DENVER , Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Antero Resources (NYSE: AR) ("Antero" or the "Company") announced today that the Company plans to issue its third quarter 2025 earnings release on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 after the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange. A conference call is scheduled on Thursday, October 30, 2025 at 9:00 am MT to discuss the financial and operational results.

AI-driven data center growth is boosting natural gas demand, creating strong prospects for Antero Resources, Williams and Kinder Morgan.

Energy stocks offer compelling value due to low sector valuations, supply constraints, and long-term demand growth, making the sector highly attractive for investors. OPEC+ spare capacity is dwindling, U.S. shale investment is declining, and political risks are curbing new supply, setting up a bullish environment for oil prices. Key investment ideas include Canadian oil sands, Permian Basin producers, and royalty/landowner companies, with a positive outlook for select natural gas and service firms.

I had a personal Eureka moment (a very mild one) that helped me simplify how I spot companies where demand far exceeds supply. Focusing on high-demand, short-supply sectors reveals opportunities in the biggest market disruptions in decades. My strategy targets mission-critical companies poised for long-term growth without chasing fleeting trends.

Seasonal price weakness in spring and fall is the time to consider investing. Current weather forecasts, including a weak La Niña, suggest a potentially cold winter and hot summer, both supportive for natural gas demand and stronger prices. The growth in exports and data center demand should lead to a natural gas pricing recovery.

I focus on big, long-term trends and dedicate energy to sectors with tremendous value, even if they're temporarily out of favor. Earlier this year, defense contractors were extremely undervalued, but patient investors have since been rewarded as the market recognized their strengths. My investment style emphasizes patience and thesis-driven investing, which isn't for everyone. Index fund investors should stick to consistency and diversification.

Long-term investing works best when you stay put. Selling in downturns often means missing the best days that drive wealth. In a world of rapid AI disruption, I want my money in areas where disruption risks are minimal and income streams stay reliable. I've found two places that offer bulletproof income, essential assets, and resilience, exactly what I'd trust for retirement security.

Antero is dealing with weaker near-term natural gas prices and is projected to end 2025 with a bit over $800 million in free cash flow. This is down $350 million since I looked at it in early June. However, Antero has made some incremental gains in terms of capital efficiency and is also now not expected to pay material cash income taxes until 2028.
