What the filing says
Comstock Resources announced a letter of intent with Azerbaijan's State Oil Company (SOCAR) to sell a 20% non-operated interest in Legacy Haynesville assets, 15% (stepping down to 7.5% post-15% ROI) of Western Haynesville, and 15% of Pinnacle Gas Services midstream subsidiary for $1.65 billion cash. Pro forma net debt reduces from $3.1B to $1.5B. Separately, majority stockholder Jerry Jones' family partnership will fund 85-80% of drilling costs ($450M) for 27 wells over 12 months, with 50% reversion to Comstock after 15% ROI. Definitive agreement targeted by October 31, 2026; closing targeted year-end 2026.
Why this rating
Major capital raise (75% of market cap) cuts leverage 52%, validates assets, brings strategic partner. Material but leaves Comstock operationally in control; not transformational ownership change.
