Cheniere Energy Partners LP
Cheniere Energy Partners LP (CQP) is a US-focused liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure operator that owns and operates export terminals and related pipelines. The partnership sells LNG under long-term contracts and on the spot market, generating fee-like revenues from terminal capacity and commodity-linked proceeds from sales. Its business combines stable cash flows from contracted volumes with exposure to global gas prices, shipping dynamics and demand for clean energy alternatives. Investors often watch CQP for its role in enabling LNG exports, its capital-intensity and distribution policy, and how contract expiries and new capacity affect cash flow. With a market capitalisation around $24.8bn, CQP sits at the intersection of energy infrastructure and commodity markets. This summary is for general education only and not personal advice; values can rise and fall and past performance does not guarantee future results. Investors should consider their own circumstances and, if needed, seek regulated financial advice.
