Chesapeake Energy



Chesapeake Energy is one of the leading natural-gas producing companies of the United States, second to be specific and is situated at Oklahoma City. It was formed in 1989 and got listed in NASDAQ in 1993 with the CHK share price split-adjusted to $1.33. Currently, the CHK stock price which is seeing a downgrade since November last year is at below $25 levels. Chesapeake Energy had a good run in its formative years and the company hit pay-dirt when it put its focus on natural gas production esp. after the discovery of the Haynesville Shale in 2008 which is touted to be the greatest natural gas reservoir in the world.
Chesapeake Energy stock analysis by Bidness Etc is having a very negative inclination but with a hold rating. There are various reasons for that. The first being that Chesapeake Energy earnings after adjustment had missed the yearly target by a whopping 32.5% and the production increased by merely 2%. Even though, the stock had seen a 47% surge in the last 12 months, it is perched precariously now with more of a negative streak. Latest Chesapeake Energy Stock news tells us that the company has given a 20% lower guidance for the current year.
