What CNX Resources does
CNX Resources is an independent natural gas and midstream company focused on the Appalachian Basin. It runs two segments, Shale and Coalbed Methane (CBM), and holds rights to extract gas from shale formations in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, along with other shale and shallow oil and gas formations across states including Illinois, Indiana, New York and Virginia. It produces pipeline-quality gas that it sells mainly to gas wholesalers. The company is vertically integrated. It designs, builds and runs its own gathering systems, with about 2,600 miles of pipelines plus processing facilities, and it offers turn-key water sourcing, delivery and disposal for its own operations and for third parties. Founded in 1860 and based in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, it was formerly known as CONSOL Energy Inc. and took the name CNX Resources in November 2017.

What is CNX Resources worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, CNX Resources's most-likely value is about $35 versus a recent price near $34 (3% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$26) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
