Although Cabot Oil & Gas extracts natural gas from an area of Pennsylvania where gas fetches some of the lowest prices in the country, the company is making money hand over fist. The company made $122 million in profit during 3Q18 and estimates it will generate “free cash flow” (money in the bank) in the range of $650 million to $700 million in 2019. Cabot has moved from growth for growth’s sake to steady growth and higher dividends. A key part of their growth is the addition of new pipelines.
