Expand Energy (EXE) Gains Following Impressive Q3 Performance

The share price of Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:EXE) surged by 8.85% between October 31 and November 7, 2025, putting it among the Energy Stocks that Gained the Most This Week.

Formed in 2024 by the merger of Chesapeake Energy Corporation and Southwestern Energy Company, Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:EXE) operates as an independent natural gas production company in the United States.

Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:EXE) reported better-than-expected profits for its Q3 2025 on October 27, driven by increased output and higher commodity prices. Natural gas prices surged by over 26% YoY during the quarter, primarily due to the strong LNG exports and a growing domestic demand fueled by the AI boom.

Moreover, Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:EXE) attracted strong investor interest after the company revealed that it expects to produce more gas in 2025 and 2026 while spending less money. EXE is forecasting its FY 2025 net production to be around 7.15 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent per day (bcfed), around 50 million cubic feet of gas equivalent per day (mmcfed) more than its prior guidance midpoint. At the same time, the company has reduced its full-year capital expenditures (CapEx) by approximately $75 million to $2.85 billion.

Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:EXE) also received a boost on October 30 when UBS slightly raised the company’s price target from $131 to $132, while maintaining a ‘Buy’ rating on its shares.
