CNBC Investing Club: Cramer’s Morning Take on EQT Corporation 10/26/26

In short

Jim Cramer previews his CNBC Investing Club “Morning Take” on market news, focusing on Verizon’s earnings, EQT’s acquisition of Range Resources, and a Morgan Stanley upgrade for Lockheed Martin.

Guests

No guests are interviewed; the episode is Cramer’s solo preview.

Key claims

Verizon raised full-year outlook after an EPS beat, but the stock isn’t moving much. Cramer says EQT is a “buy” because it’s a dedicated natural-gas supplier for data centers and broader power/electric-system growth tied to reshoring; he notes EQT is connected to a new pipeline approved/built during the Trump period.

Notable examples

EQT buying Range Resources in an all-stock natural-gas deal; Morgan Stanley upgrading Lockheed Martin to overweight and citing permission to build more F-35s; Cramer contrasts Lockheed with RTX as “better.”

1:23Earnings Verizon reported this morning they raised a full-year outlook after EPS beat stock. Not doing much, though. No, and this is just Starlink. I mean, I think that T-Mobile is the one I would buy if you had to own one. But, you know, I happen to think that SpaceX is a great stock. I've been saying that. There was a deal at EQT to buy range resources, all stock deal, natural gas. Yeah, and that's really important because EQT, which is the most dedicated, that's a buy, most dedicated to providing natural gas to the data centers, which they're all on. And even Musk mentions that right now they're all on.

1:59This is one that utilities needed. Remember, this is less linked necessarily to the data center as much as it is to the growth because of reshoring, because of all the businesses coming on, the enterprise of the electric system. And the electric system is going to be run on natural gas. EQT is just hooked right up to this new pipeline that was approved and built during the period of Trump. And so they're taking advantage of that and buying resources, which is southwest Pennsylvania and also northeast Pennsylvania. And finally, I saw an upgrade of Lockheed Martin at Morgan Stanley. They go to overweight.

2:36Yeah, they have a lot of business. If you like Lockheed Martin, that's a nice move. RTX, I regard as better. Lockheed Martin got permission to be able to build more F-35s. Those are very expensive planes. It surprises me because we are now in drone world. We are not in the role of classic old claims.
