New LNG deals add long-term demand, but Hormuz reopening removes supply-crisis boost
▲
New long-term LNG supply deals with EnBW and Atlantic-SEE Venture Global signed new binding deals with Germany's EnBW for about 0.82 million tonnes per year for five years starting 2026, and doubled its 20-year deal with Greece's Atlantic-SEE to 1.0 million tonnes per year from 2030. These lock in future sales, making revenue more predictable and supporting the stock.
This is the main new positive force: fresh contracts that increase future demand for VG's LNG.

U.S.-Iran deal reopens Strait of Hormuz, removing supply-disruption premium A U.S.-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for 20% of global LNG, caused Venture Global shares to drop 13.3% in a week. The stock had risen on fears of a supply shortage; with the route reopening, that fear trade unwound, pushing the price down.
This is the biggest new negative price driver: a geopolitical event that directly removed a prior boost to VG shares.

Bernstein starts coverage with neutral Market-Perform rating Bernstein began covering LNG stocks, calling it a once-in-a-generation energy restructuring, but rated Venture Global only Market-Perform (neutral). That gives no strong push up or down, though it highlights growing power demand from data centers and AI that could support LNG longer term.

ConocoPhillips Signs 20-Year LNG Deal With Venture Global
ConocoPhillips and Venture Global have signed a deal that would see the liquefied natural gas major supply 1 million tons to Conoco beginning in 2030. The agreement, described as a 20-year arrangement, makes ConocoPhillips a long-term partner of Venture Global, whose chief executive Mike Sabel said it reflects continued market confidence in the company's ability to deliver reliable, low-cost U.S. LNG quickly and at scale. The deal lands as Venture Global faces litigation from half a dozen international oil majors, including Shell, BP and Repsol, which accused the company in 2023 of profiteering by selling LNG cargoes on the higher-priced spot market that should have been supplied under long-term contracts. Shell lost its arbitration against Venture Global in August, while BP won a ruling in its favor two months later. Venture Global currently holds a total of 100 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually in capacity, including operating capacity and capacity under construction and development, making it one of the biggest LNG traders globally.

TCW Fund Adds Venture Global, Sees LNG Supply Tightening Lifting Cash Flow
TCW Relative Value Mid Cap Fund initiated a position in Venture Global, Inc. during the second quarter of 2026, according to the firm's Q2 2026 investor letter. The fund noted that Venture Global, a liquefied natural gas exporter headquartered in Arlington, Virginia with liquefaction and export facilities in Louisiana, carried a $31.6 billion market capitalization as of September 30, 2026, when its shares closed at $12.64, and posted a roughly 85.34% year-to-date gain within a 52-week range of $5.72 to $17.62. TCW said approximately 70% of Venture Global's 2026 LNG cargoes are under contract at fixed liquefaction prices, and that damage to Qatar Energy, the world's largest single LNG exporter, has opened additional markets to available export capacity. The fund expects Venture Global to ship volumes at the high end of its capacity and at premium prices, conditions it believes will persist for the next three to five years, while management expands LNG export capacity by approximately 50% over the next few years. TCW added that the improvement in cash flow, margins, and earnings could be significant over that period.

Baker Hughes Wins Venture Global Orders for Plaquemines LNG Expansion
Baker Hughes Company and Venture Global, Inc. are expanding their collaboration through a new set of equipment orders tied to Venture Global's LNG growth plans. Under the award, Baker Hughes will provide 13 gas compression systems for Venture Global's Cloud Connector Pipeline project in Louisiana, along with four liquefaction blocks containing eight liquefaction modules to support additional LNG production capacity at the Plaquemines LNG facility. Venture Global, described as America's second-largest LNG exporter, has been working to increase the capacity of Plaquemines LNG to 58 million metric tons per annum, and the Cloud Connector Pipeline is an important part of that expansion strategy because the added capacity requires reliable access to natural gas supplies. Venture Global CEO Mike Sabel said Baker Hughes has been a trusted partner across the company's LNG developments, while Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said the company is proud to work alongside Venture Global as it expands Plaquemines LNG. The awards align with Baker Hughes' strategy to diversify beyond its traditional oilfield services business, following its acquisition of Chart Industries, and the inclusion of Chart cold boxes in the liquefaction award underscores the value of that deal. Baker Hughes will need to deliver sustained order growth and healthy margins across the combined business to justify the $13.6 billion price it paid for Chart Industries, while Venture Global faces financial and execution risks as its multi-billion-dollar expansion projects weigh on its balance sheet.

Venture Global Signs 20-Year LNG Deal With China Gas for 0.5 mtpa
Venture Global announced on September 14 that it signed a sales and purchase agreement with China Gas Holdings for 0.5 million tons per annum of LNG starting in 2030, raising China Gas's total long-term commitments with the American exporter to 2.5 mtpa. The deal adds 0.5 mtpa of contracted volumes for two decades, giving Venture Global greater visibility on revenue and cash flows as it expands its Louisiana portfolio. The agreement lands ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's expected visit to Washington later this month; China bought as much as $6.2 billion worth of American LNG shipments in 2021 before halting imports in March 2025 after Beijing's tariffs on American energy products raised costs. Venture Global is building out capacity, with its Plaquemines project expected to complete phase 1 by the fourth quarter of 2026 and phase two by mid-2027, and its CP2 project expected to start production in the second half of 2027. The company noted the new contract does not begin until 2030 and will have little direct effect on near-term earnings and cash flows, while China's total LNG imports fell to a three-year low of 68.43 million tons in 2025 and Beijing has retained a 15% levy on US LNG.
QatarEnergy in Talks with Cheniere, Venture Global, Woodside for U.S. LNG Supply Through 2031
QatarEnergy is reportedly in discussions with several U.S. LNG producers, including Cheniere Energy, Venture Global and Woodside Energy Group, to secure multi-year supplies through 2031. The talks come as QatarEnergy looks to replace liquefied natural gas volumes disrupted by damage to its Ras Laffan facility following Iranian strikes in March, with the company reportedly seeking 2-3 million metric tons per annum through 2031. Two of the 14 LNG trains at Ras Laffan and the gas-to-liquids facility were damaged in the March strikes, and QatarEnergy's chief executive officer previously indicated that 12.8 million tons per year of LNG capacity could remain offline for three to five years. According to data compiled by Rapidan Energy, U.S. projects under construction have about 25 MTPA of LNG available for purchase, with Venture Global reportedly holding the largest amount of uncontracted capacity at 10 MTPA, while Cheniere and Woodside each have around 6 MTPA available for sale. Cheniere, which operates the Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi terminals with more than 54 MTPA of LNG production capacity in operation, produced and exported 184 cargoes totaling 672 trillion British thermal units in the second quarter of 2026, a 20% year-over-year increase, and raised its 2026 production forecast to 53-54 million tons from a previous range of 52-54 million tons.

LNG volumes sold increased 41.7% year over year to 466.4 trillion British thermal units from 329.2 TBtu, with exported LNG volumes up 44.6% to 478.3 TBtu, as Plaquemines accounted for 90 of the quarter's 127 cargoes and Calcasieu Pass contributed 37. Income from operations climbed 110.8% year over year to $2.19 billion, consolidated adjusted EBITDA rose 78.8% to $2.49 billion at a 54% margin, and net income attributable to common stockholders was $1.35 billion versus $368 million a year earlier. Venture Global raised its 2026 consolidated adjusted EBITDA guidance to $8.70-$9.10 billion from $8.20-$8.50 billion, assuming a fixed liquefaction fee of $12.50-$13.50 per million British thermal units for remaining unsold cargoes, and expects 500-518 cargoes in 2026. The board also raised the quarterly dividend 122% to 4 cents per share, payable Sept. 30 to shareholders of record as of Sept. 15, after refinancing $5.30 billion of capital since the start of the second quarter for more than $100 million of expected annual interest and coupon savings.

Purcell & Lefkowitz Investigates Venture Global Directors' Fiduciary Duties
Purcell & Lefkowitz LLP has launched an investigation into Venture Global, examining whether the company's directors fulfilled their fiduciary obligations to shareholders in connection with unspecified recent corporate actions. The legal scrutiny arrives as Venture Global's stock has posted a 24.89% one-month return and a 96.02% year-to-date return, though the one-year total shareholder return is down 12.62%. The company is rapidly scaling its LNG production capacity toward more than 100 MTPA through projects including CP2, Plaquemines, and future brownfield expansions. A widely followed fair value estimate of $21.24 per share suggests the stock, which last closed at $13.80, may be materially undervalued, while its current price-to-earnings ratio of 14.6 times sits slightly above the US Oil and Gas industry average of 13.9 times but below the peer average of 23.8 times.
Venture Global Stock Appears Fairly Valued After Rally on LNG Contract News
Venture Global stock has nearly doubled year to date with a 96% return, and fresh long-term LNG contracts and higher liquefaction fees have supported sentiment, but the valuation now looks roughly fair rather than clearly cheap or expensive. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.6 times, close to its tailored fair ratio of 15.5 times and slightly above the Oil and Gas industry average of 13.9 times, while sitting well below the broader peer group average of 23.8 times. With a value score of 4 out of 6, the shares present a mixed picture, and the key question is whether contract-driven cash generation can justify the current multiple if financing costs rise or legal risks from ongoing arbitration proceedings intensify. Community views remain split, with a bull case suggesting the stock is 35% undervalued based on a growing portfolio of 20-year sale and purchase agreements and uncontracted output, while a bear case sees it as 6% overvalued due to uncertainty from arbitration and leverage concerns.

Venture Global Shares Surge 11.2% on Iran Ceasefire Breakdown Fears
Shares in Venture Global rose 11.2% in the week to Friday morning as the market priced in a breakdown of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, potentially disrupting energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. The Louisiana-based LNG producer and exporter stands to benefit from a shift toward U.S. LNG if the Strait remains restricted, given that about 82 million tonnes per annum of LNG passed through it in 2025. Venture Global ended 2025 with an export capacity of 64.4 million tonnes per annum and plans to expand to 152 million tonnes per annum by the early 2030s, a scale that could reshape global supply. Long-term supply risks in the region may drive customers toward secure U.S. LNG, and the company has recently signed more long-term agreements. Damage to Qatar's LNG infrastructure and reluctance to sign long-term deals for Strait-dependent supply further support the advantage of U.S. exporters like Venture Global.

Bernstein initiates coverage on power, clean energy and LNG stocks amid major U.S. energy restructuring
Bernstein initiated coverage on a dozen power, clean energy and liquefied natural gas stocks this week, calling the current environment a once-in-a-generation restructuring of how energy is produced, moved and consumed. The broker forecasts U.S. power demand will grow at roughly a 3% annual rate through 2030, compared with just 0.35% from 2000 to 2024, driven by energy security concerns, decarbonization goals and growing demand from data centers and artificial intelligence. Among its top picks, Bernstein rates GE Vernova Outperform with a $1,206 price target, NextEra Energy Outperform, Constellation Energy Outperform, and Vistra Outperform, while also bullish on geothermal developer Fervo Energy. In LNG, Cheniere Energy was rated Outperform with a $283 target, while Venture Global received a Market-Perform rating. Bernstein rated First Solar at Underperform on concerns its margins are heavily dependent on tax credits, and assigned Market-Perform ratings to Bloom Energy, Enphase Energy and T1 Energy.
