Comstock Resources ( (CRK) ) has provided an update.
On June 15, 2026, Comstock Resources sold a 27% non‑controlling equity stake in its midstream subsidiary Pinnacle Gas Services to funds managed by investment firm Sixth Street for $600 million, implying a $2.2 billion enterprise value for Pinnacle. Comstock retained a 73% controlling stake, valued at about $1.6 billion, and will continue to manage and operate the midstream business under a management services agreement.
The proceeds were used to redeem $445 million of Pinnacle preferred equity plus accrued dividends, retire all of Pinnacle’s outstanding debt, cover transaction costs and provide working capital, materially deleveraging the subsidiary and cutting its fixed charges by about $40 million annually. The deal both validates the value of Comstock’s Western Haynesville midstream infrastructure and strengthens the company’s balance sheet, while preserving operational control and increasing its economic exposure to future upside in Pinnacle as Western Haynesville development and Gulf Coast gas demand expand.
The most recent analyst rating on (CRK) stock is a Hold
with a $16.00 price target.

Spark’s Take on CRK Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CRK is a Neutral.
The score is driven by a strong TTM earnings rebound but constrained by weak free cash flow and elevated leverage. Technical signals are bearish (price below major moving averages with negative MACD and low RSI), while valuation is supportive due to a low P/E. Earnings call commentary is constructive on production rebound and liquidity, but near-term outspend and pricing/operational headwinds limit upside confidence.
