Aristotle Atlantic Core Equity Strategy stated the following regarding Antero Resources Corporation (NYSE:AR) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:
"Antero Resources Corporation (NYSE:AR) detracted from performance in the third quarter due to lower natural gas prices causing earnings volatility as a result of the company's unhedged production profile. In addition, pipeline constraints and seasonal infrastructure limitations caused Antero's gas realizations to trade at steep discounts to NYMEX benchmarks despite strong operational execution. The long-term outlook for natural gas demand continues to skew positively due to increasing demand for natural gas for AI data center power generation, as well as growing U.S. LNG export infrastructure."
