Venture Global (VG) could benefit from higher global liquefied natural gas prices, which would drive better-than-expected financial results, RBC Capital Markets said in a Thursday note.
According to the analysts, the Middle East conflict could be a tailwind for the company's open capacity given the impeded cargoes through the Strait of Hormuz and closure of Qatar's Ras Laffan facility.
The brokerage said it now expects 2026 and 2027 adjusted EBITDA of $6.83 billion and $5.01 billion, respectively, from $4.73 billion and $3.63 billion earlier.
The stock is highly correlated to Title Transfer Facility prices, which are up around 50% since the beginning of the conflict. Further volatility in TTF prices and the stock price could persist as the conflict continues, according to the note.
The brokerage said it reiterated its outperform rating on the stock and boosted its price target to $14 per share from $11.
