Description: CRK Comstock Resources November 05, 2025

Comstock Resources, Inc. (NYSE:CRK) is an independent U.S. energy firm focused on acquiring, exploring, developing, and producing natural gas and oil assets primarily in the Haynesville and Bossier shales of North Louisiana and East Texas, covering roughly 1.1 million acres. Founded in 1919, the company is headquartered in Frisco, Texas.

Key corporate data: ticker CRK, common stock, United States-based, classified under the GICS sub-industry “Oil & Gas Exploration & Production.”

Recent operational metrics (as of Q2 2024) show average daily production of about 30 MMcf of natural gas and 2,400 boe of oil, with cash flow generation of $120 million and a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio near 2.1×, indicating moderate leverage relative to peers. The company’s earnings are highly sensitive to Henry Hub natural-gas prices, which have averaged $2.85 /MMBtu in 2024, and to regional pipeline capacity constraints that can affect take-or-pay contracts.
