Key Metrics
Top Statement Risk
Commodity price volatility
Metrics are mathematically derived from official filings.
Revenue Rebound After Price Slump
Coterra's revenue surged 40.4% sequentially in Q4 2025, reversing a 49.6% year-over-year decline, as per recent financial statements, suggesting a sharp recovery in realized commodity prices and production volumes.
The 40.4% sequential jump in Q4 2025 revenue to $2.0B, following a 12.6% YoY decline in Q4 2024, indicates a strong cyclical recovery. This acceleration is likely driven by higher natural gas and oil prices, as volumes remain relatively stable. Investors should monitor whether this growth persists, given the absence of explicit guidance in the latest earnings event.
Margin Normalization After Anomaly
Gross margin settled at 37.2% in Q1 2026, down from 47.4% a year earlier, based on reported figures, reflecting lower realized prices and a return to more typical cost structures after prior one-time gains.
The gross margin contraction from 47.4% in Q1 2025 to 37.2% in Q1 2026 aligns with the revenue decline and suggests reduced pricing power. However, Coterra's gross margin remains above Devon's 24.7% and Antero's 22.1%, indicating a structural cost advantage. The operating margin of 33.2% in Q1 2026 is still robust, but the prior quarter's 89.13% was clearly non-recurring, warranting a focus on sustainable margins.
Operating Leverage Amplifies Upside
Operating income grew 13.1% sequentially in Q4 2025 despite a 10.9% revenue increase, as per financial statements, demonstrating positive operating leverage with SG&A growing only 6.7%.
In Q4 2025, operating income rose to $571M from $470M in Q3, while SG&A increased modestly from $83M to $64M, indicating that overhead costs are not scaling with revenue. This suggests that Coterra can convert incremental revenue into profit efficiently, a key strength in an upcycle. However, the sustainability of this leverage depends on commodity prices and cost inflation in oilfield services.
Earnings Quality Clouded by Hedging
Net margin of 23.9% in Q1 2026 appears high relative to peers, but stock-based compensation of $20M and potential derivative gains may inflate reported earnings, based on reported figures.
Coterra's net margin of 23.9% in Q1 2026 exceeds Devon's 15.4% and EQT's 22.5%, but this may be partly due to non-cash mark-to-market gains on derivatives. SBC of $20M in Q1 2026 is modest but adds to dilution. Investors should focus on adjusted cash flow from operations to strip out hedging noise, as net income can be volatile.
Cost Discipline Amid Price Weakness
COGS as a percentage of revenue rose to 62.8% in Q1 2026 from 52.6% a year earlier, based on reported data, indicating that fixed costs are spreading over a smaller revenue base.
The increase in COGS ratio reflects lower realized prices, not necessarily cost inflation. Coterra's low-cost Marcellus assets provide a defensive floor, but the Permian and Anadarko operations may face higher lifting costs. Management's expense discipline is evident in stable SG&A, but investors should monitor LOE per BOE as a key efficiency metric.
Commodity Exposure Remains Key Risk
Despite a strong balance sheet, Coterra's earnings are highly sensitive to natural gas and oil prices, with a 49.6% revenue decline in 2024 highlighting the cyclicality, as per financial statements.
Short-sellers might argue that Coterra's diversified model does not fully protect against commodity downturns, as evidenced by the 2024 revenue slump. The lack of explicit guidance suggests uncertainty in the price outlook. While the low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.27% provides resilience, it also implies a conservative capital allocation that may limit upside in a rising price environment.
