Antero Resources (AR) Falls: Stock Goes Down 6.6% - Tale of the Tape - Antero Resources (NYSE:AR)

Antero Resources Corporation AR saw a big move last session, as the company's shares fell nearly 7% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading below the volatile price range of $60.15 to $67.41 in the past one-month time frame.

Although this slump was obviously disappointing, the oil and gas drilling & exploration company has seen 2 positive revisions and its current year earnings consensus has moved higher over the past few weeks. This suggests that the recent slump might be a temporary blip on the radar for AR. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if yesterday's price decline is confirmed by more weakness, or if it can rebound in the weeks ahead.

AR currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is positive.

Some better-ranked stocks in the same sector include Range Resources Corporation RRC, Encana Corporation ECA and EOG Resources, Inc. EOG. While RRC sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), ECA and EOG hold a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
