Cheniere Energy Doubles Down on LNG Export Boom

Cheniere Energy raised its forecast for annual core profit after beating quarterly expectations on robust demand for liquefied natural gas. The US has solidified its position as the world's largest exporter of LNG, shipping 15 billion cubic feet per day in 2025.

The company exported 184 cargoes of LNG in the three months ended June 30, up 19.4% from a year earlier. Cheniere's LNG revenue rose to $5.64 billion in the second quarter, compared with $4.52 billion a year earlier.

Cheniere expects adjusted core profit to range $7.9 billion to $8.4 billion in 2026, up from its prior projection of $7.25 billion to $7.75 billion.
