Critical Dependencies
The largest US LNG exporter, operating liquefaction facilities at Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi, which reported Q2 2026 adjusted earnings of $14.65 per share and revenue of $5.73 billion, both far exceeding Wall Street estimates, driven by strong LNG pricing, higher volumes, and non-cash derivative gains. Cheniere raised full-year 2026 guidance for the second consecutive quarter to $7.9-$8.4 billion in adjusted EBITDA and $1.6-$2.0 billion in net income, citing production outperformance from enhanced operational reliability and the accelerated startup of Corpus Christi Stage 3 trains, while committing to grow its dividend by at least 10% annually through the decade's end.
