Deep Analysis

Antero Resources’ gross margin of 39.8% means that for every dollar of revenue, the company keeps nearly 40 cents after paying the direct costs of producing its natural gas and oil.

That is better than the energy sector median of 33.5%, placing Antero in the 58th percentile among its peers. Because the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes are not available, there is no trend data to assess. The high current margin relative to the sector suggests a cost advantage, but the lack of a trend makes it impossible to judge whether that advantage is improving or eroding. This metric supports the overall BULLISH verdict by showing that Antero is currently more profitable at the production level than most competitors.
