Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on EQT Corp. (NYSE: EQT) price target of $65.00 (from $62.00).

Analyst, Richard Gross, said, "EQT Midstream Partners (NYSE: EQM) was spun out via IPO on 7/2/12 and EQT raised proceeds of $232 million. The MLP will act as a funding vehicle for EQT while allowing EQT to maintain control of future midstream build in order to get its production to market. We expect dropdowns of at least $200 million on an annual basis, which will essentially enable EQT to accelerate its well development program in the Marcellus."

Gross raises FY12 EPS estimates from $1.44 to $1.52 and FY13 $2.28 to $2.41.
