The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) who purchased shares between June 19, 2017 and October 24, 2018. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.
(1) land acquired by the Rice Energy merger was not contiguous with the Company’s previously held acreage, which reduced the purported synergy benefits; (2) the purported longer lateral wells were not feasible because of intervening third-party parcels or prior drilling by EQT, Rice, or third parties; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
Shareholders have until August 26, 2019 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class member.
