Shares of Comstock Resources (CRK) plummeted by over 5% in early trading on Wednesday, following the company's disappointing third-quarter earnings report released after the market close on Tuesday.
The oil and gas exploration and production company reported a quarterly adjusted loss of $0.17 per share for the three months ended September 30, missing analysts' consensus estimate of a $0.16 loss per share. Revenue for the quarter fell 19.2% year-over-year to $304.47 million, also falling short of Wall Street's expectations of $323.14 million.
The weak results led Piper Sandler analyst Mark Lear to reiterate a "Sell" rating on the stock, further exacerbating the sell-off. Lear cited concerns over the company's lackluster financial performance and competitive positioning within the industry.
