Summary

  • Southwestern Energy is recommended as a buy for speculative investors who expect stable or rising natural gas prices.
  • SWN is particularly well-positioned to serve the much-expanding LNG export market.
  • Dividend hunters should look elsewhere as the company does not offer a dividend.
  • The Biden administration's proposed policies and regional restrictions on natural gas use impact the price of Southwestern's Marcellus (Appalachian) gas.
