CRK’s Factors to Note
To have an idea of how natural gas prices behaved in the December quarter last, let's analyze the commodity prices from the data provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”). The average Henry Hub natural gas spot prices for October, November and December of 2025 were $3.19 per million Btu, $3.79 per million Btu and $4.26 per million Btu, respectively. Commodity prices were $2.20 per barrel, $2.12 per barrel and $3.01 per barrel, respectively, in October, November and December of 2024, per EIA. Improved commodity pricing environment in the December quarter of this year is likely to have aided earnings.
