barrons3	At 27, Consol's stock is off about 60% from a year ago -- in line with the industry's decline. But some analysts think the stock could triple in an economic recovery.	Love	March 14, 2009

barrons3	Strong Buy - Price 29.39 on Dec. 16 by Raymond James Target: 68.50. Softer 2009 fundamentals will likely lead to lower volumes for Consol [the largest U.S. producer of high-energy producing, or high-BTU, bituminous coal.] After channel checks, we've trimmed fourth-quarter 2008 earnings per share to 50 cents from 73 cents, 2009 to $5 from $6.80, and 2010 to $5.20 from $5.35...We've heard that...certain metallurgical-coal contracts [may be] canceled -- or held off for delivery or requests for price adjustments in light of steel-industry [conditions]...Consol's high-quality Buchanan [Virginia] coal should see stronger prices relative to some of the lesser-quality met-coals, [and] thermal-coal contracts with utilities should hold up well. Market cap: $5.5 billion.	Love	December 20, 2008

barrons3	Worth says, "I am all in on the long side." He told viewers to look for the most beaten-down names or the most defensive names that have held up in the bear market. Some beaten down names he likes are Chesapeake Energy(CHK), Peabody Energy (BTU), AK Steel(AKS), U.S. Steel(X) and CONSOL Energy (CNX).	Love	October 22, 2008

sarah z	The Pittsburgh-based coal producer announced a new share repurchase program worth up to $500 million in common stock. The buybacks will be made from time to time up until its expiration date on September 9, 2010. The coal miner reported a drop in second-quarter earnings on July 31, 2008. Net income dropped to $101 million, or 54 cents a share, from $153 million, or 83 cents a share, in the year-ago period. On the bright side, net cash from operations jumped 19.5% to $323.9 million, from $271.1 million last year. Total revenue was better by more than 14% as coal sales increased by 19% and natural gas sales surged 58%. Consol produces over 70 million tons of coal annually. “Higher energy prices were the key factor in the second quarter's results,” said J. Brett Harvey, president and CEO. "Gas prices period- to-period rose 24%, while coal prices period-to-period rose 15%, allowing us to generate solid cash flows and higher revenues. Despite mixed economic news in recent months, global energy demand still favors this higher pricing environment for the foreseeable future." We like to see that Jefferies & Company initiated coverage on Consol with a buy rating. Analyst Michael Dudas commented, “Consol Energy, the largest underground and Eastern coal producer, also controls coalbed methane and bulk transportation assets. As the largest producer and exporter of coals in Northern Appalachia, with a sizable majority position in the basin, the company tends to dictate regional market fundamentals.” He rewarded the stock with a $90-dollar price target, representing 70% upside potential from Tuesday’s closing price of $52.68.

barrons2	"Energy stocks that have gone up the most during the current oil rally will probably get hit the hardest," Bespoke analysts note. With gains of between 120% and 158% since January 2007, stocks like Consol Energy (CNX), National Oilwell Varco (NOV), Range Resources (RRC) and Hess (HES) have milked the most from this oil gush, and might have the most to lose when oil subsides.

bkosmal	Consolidated is a well run coal company. The run up in oil prices tends to bring coal along with it. Coal is likely to be the fuel of choice as gas and oil become more scarce.	Love	November 22, 2007

barrons2	Q: Who stands to gain? A: We like Consol Energy (CNX) and Peabody Energy (BTU). Both of them should benefit, relative to some of the other American coal producers, from growing export ability -- Consol with its asset-base and export opportunities on the Eastern seaboard, and Peabody because it also has a producing asset, in Australia, that is benefiting from Asian demand.

netbender	It owns 80% of CNX Gas[<b>CXG</b>], which represents about $20 a share of <b>CNX</b>'s stock price.	Love	June 23, 2007
Barrons	From Barron's 6-25-07: "Consol Energy (CNX). And Consol Energy owns 80% of a public company called CNX Gas (CXG), which represents about $20 a share of Consol Energy's stock price. CNX Gas is a terrific low-cost player with long-life reserves. It is a nice property in its own right...If you consider the earnings that Consol could generate if gas trades on a BTU-equivalent priced with coal, they could earn over $6. If it were to occur, it would be a ways away. There are really only two cost-effective power options: nuclear and coal, and the United States has 250 years of reserves of coal, while new nuclear plants won't be available until at least 2016."
