Cheniere Energy, Inc.
Cheniere Energy, Inc. (LNG) is a leading US liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter with a market capitalisation of about $48.84B. The company owns and operates major export terminals, selling LNG under long‑term contracts and into the spot market. Long‑term agreements can deliver relatively predictable cash flow, while spot sales offer upside tied to global gas prices. Cheniere’s performance links to US natural gas supply, international demand for cleaner‑burning fuels, shipping costs and regulatory developments. The business requires substantial capital investment to grow capacity, which supports future volumes but can affect free cash flow in the near term. Investors should balance the potential for growth from rising LNG demand against commodity volatility, execution and regulatory risks. This summary is for general educational purposes only and is not personal financial advice; consider your circumstances or consult a financial adviser. Values can fall as well as rise.
Why It's Moving
Cheniere Energy shares slide amid LNG margin squeeze from soaring US gas prices.
Cheniere Energy's stock dropped 7.46% over the past week as LNG stocks faced broad pressure. Surging US Henry Hub prices near three-year highs, fueled by cold weather and LNG demand, have narrowed spreads to Europe and Asia, eroding exporter margins just as new US supply looms.[4]
- US Henry Hub prices hover below $5.3/MMBtu, the highest in nearly three years, driven by heating needs and LNG plant pull, while European TTF prices dip below 27 EUR/MWh on supply glut fears.[4]
- Benchmark Henry Hub-TTF spread hits its tightest since April 2021, directly pressuring profitability for LNG giants like Cheniere as input costs rise faster than export prices.[4]
- Ongoing expansions like CCL Stage 3, with Trains 1-3 completed in 2025, position Cheniere for future volume growth but amplify margin risks with more US LNG capacity coming online.[1]
