# Antero Resources Corporation (AR) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Price $39.41, market value $12.1 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 11.3×** (5-yr avg 63.1×, 3-yr avg 82.4×). Antero Resources Corporation trades at 11.3× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 63.1×: cheap by its own standards. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 9.1×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.01**. A PEG of 0.01 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 2.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.0×.
- **Price / book: 1.5×**. The shares trade at 1.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 5.8×**. Enterprise value is 5.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Earnings yield: 8.9%**. The inverse of the P/E: 8.9% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 24.7%**. 24.7% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 12.8%**. 12.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 8.9%**. 8.9% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 13.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 13.3%.
- **Return on assets: 8.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces 8.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 22.0%** (3-yr -9.6%/yr, 5-yr 8.6%/yr). Revenue grew 22.0% over the last year, against 8.6% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 1027.8%** (3-yr -29.1%/yr). Earnings per share rose 1027.8%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.19**. Debt is 0.19 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Current ratio: 0.55** (quick 0.55). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.67**. A Z-score of 2.67 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 8/9**. 8 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.
