I am wondering why there's been no discussion about this stock recently. Expand Energy Corp is the largest independent US producer of natural gas. The stock is traded on NASDAQ.

As of May 8, 2026, EXE shares closed at approximately $95.92. Their P/E is 7.15, which is pretty low for an energy company. Net income was about $3.2 billion for twelve months ending 3/31/26 and they have $5 billion in debt.

I only have 25 shares in the stock, bought at $95 on April 21st 2026, because I wanted to have a relatively safe energy stock in my portfolio.

Overall, it looks like a good company and the fundamentals offer room for growth. The macro environment, despite the Iran war, has seen natural gas prices falling due to abundant inventory from less LNG exports, but they're still able to make a good profit their debt load is light.

Was wondering if other people have noticed this stock, since I haven't found any discussion on it?

I am wondering if anyone has seen the idea of recycling human bodies for fertilizer, protein, water, among other resources in the near future stories (50-100 years).

I had the idea come to my mind from replaying an old PC Game called "Alpha Centauri" created by Civilizations turned-based strategy game creator Sid Meier, where human colonists were recycled into "Recycling tanks" in order to produce nutrients for the cities.

I know the idea isn't new and variants like Dune's "water" recycling by Freman is one example. The Expanse doesn't highlight it, but Martians in the story were also heavily invested in the concept of recycling their resources due to harsh nature of Mars.

But, is the idea of using human bodies as resources even feasible?

It's a macabre subject, but I can see why it might be needed especially in environments like Mars, where there's a lack of soil nutrients and human bodies could very likely serve that purpose.

PS: I am not being edgy, just thought I'd ask about the opinions of folks who might be considering science fiction with hard science on agricultural engineering for alien worlds without nutrients and limited water resources. It seems like a decent idea. Not sure if folks are considering this aspect as much.
