#2 - Cheniere Energy (NYSE:LNG)
As the company’s ticker symbol suggests, Cheniere Energy Inc. (NYSE: LNG) is one of the best ways for investors to gain exposure to the growing demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG). Liquefied natural gas is natural gas that has been chilled to levels that change it to a liquid state so that it can be easily and safely transported. In 2022, the United States became the largest exporter of LNG, mostly due to the need for European countries to replace the natural gas they were receiving from Russia.
Cheniere owns and operates two natural gas liquefaction and export facilities with long-term contracts ensuring solid cash flow. At peak capacity, the company can generate approximately 30 million metric tons of LNG every year.
LNG stock is up 12.4% in 2024 with all of that gain coming in the last six months when the stock surged ahead by over 21%. That has it pushing its 52-week high. But the company initiated a stock buyback program in June 2024 that is likely to fuel further growth in the stock price.
