$80M Hedging Losses Sink Comstock Resources' Q1 Sales, Adjusted Net Income
CRK sits 17% above its 52-week low of $14.65.
Summary
Comstock Resources reported a significant decline in its first-quarter oil and gas sales, primarily due to $80 million in realized hedging losses. Adjusted net income for Q1 dropped to $44 million from $54 million a year earlier, despite the company bringing 16 new Haynesville/Bossier shale wells online with strong initial production rates. This Q1 performance marks a notable contrast to the strong financial turnaround and results reported for the full year 2025. The material impact from hedging losses will be a key concern for investors, raising questions about the company's risk management and its potential effect on future profitability. Traders will monitor future hedging results and any potential impact on the company's full-year outlook.
