NextDecade Corporation's stock surged 18.18% during intraday trading on Monday, marking a significant upward movement for the LNG company.
The sharp rise follows the company's announcement of advancing plans for its Rio Grande LNG facility, including expectations to file a full application for Train 6 by mid-2026 and to progress the development of Trains 7 and 8 throughout the year. CEO Matt Schatzman stated the company expects first LNG production from Train 1 in the first half of 2027. Additionally, NextDecade reported a better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2025 loss of $0.18 per share, beating analyst estimates of a $0.34 loss.
The broader U.S. LNG sector also received a boost as natural gas futures jumped 6.4% following renewed Middle East conflict, which threatened to disrupt global energy trade routes and reignited concerns about energy supply security. This sector-wide tailwind contributed to the bullish sentiment around NextDecade and other energy infrastructure companies.
