Venture Global, a U.S. LNG exporter, reported fourth-quarter revenues of $1.52 billion, falling short of the $1.92 billion estimate, while earnings per share (EPS) were $0.33 compared to an expected $0.30. Following this disappointing earnings report, the company's shares plummeted by 25%, marking a significant decline since its initial public offering (IPO). Analysts noted that the 2025 EBITDA guidance was considerably below market expectations, contributing to the stock's downturn. Additionally, construction costs for a new facility are rising, further complicating the company's outlook. Despite the challenges, RBC Capital Markets has reiterated a buy rating on the stock with a price target of $20. This comes amid a broader context of surging natural gas prices, which have reached a two-year high due to extreme weather, supply constraints, and increasing global demand for LNG.
