About Cheniere Energy
Cheniere Energy works in liquefied natural gas within the United States, building and running the infrastructure that turns natural gas into LNG for shipment. Its operations center on two terminal complexes, one at Sabine Pass in Louisiana and another near Corpus Christi, Texas, and it is best known for these large-scale export facilities.
Alongside the terminals, the company holds pipeline assets that move gas to and from its plants: the Creole Trail pipeline links Sabine Pass to a broader mix of interstate and intrastate gas lines, while a shorter pipeline connects the Corpus Christi terminal into similar networks. Cheniere also markets LNG and natural gas directly, pairing its physical infrastructure with trading activity in these fuels.
The company traces its founding to 1983 and runs its operations from Houston, Texas. Its shares are listed on the NYSE under the ticker LNG.

- What they said
- Cheniere reported Q2 2026 consolidated adjusted EBITDA of ~$1.8B, DCF of ~$1.2B, and net income exceeding $3B. Production reached 672 TBtu (184 cargoes), up 20% YoY, driven by Stage 3 train completions and improved reliability. The company repurchased 2.2M shares for $550M and deployed $1.1B in growth CapEx. Global LNG supply disruption from Strait of Hormuz closure boosted market volatility and demand for reliable suppliers.
- Guidance
- Full year 2026 guidance raised to $7.9B-$8.4B EBITDA and $5.3B-$5.8B DCF, the second consecutive upward revision. New guidance low end exceeds prior high end. Drivers include higher production forecast (+0.5M tonnes), sustained marketing margins, and optimization gains.
