Comstock Resources Continues To Burn Cash
Comstock reported negative $52 million in Q3 2024 FCF, bringing its YTD FCF to negative $308 million. It has made improvements with Western Haynesville D&C costs, but I believe it still requires a further 15% to 20% reduction to be competitive with legacy Haynesville wells. Comstock's 2024 production results are trending to be a bit lower than its guidance midpoint.

Comstock Resources: A Speculative Play On The Western Haynesville
Comstock Resources, Inc., an E&P company focused on natural gas in the Haynesville and Bossier shales, faces challenges due to weak natural gas prices. Despite operational efficiency and cost management in its legacy Haynesville assets, Comstock's financials suffered in Q2 2024, with lower realized sales prices and reduced capital expenditures. Comstock's high debt load and inadequate hedging strategy in early 2024 pose risks, but a shift to more aggressive hedging aims to mitigate future price downturns.
