Shares declined 3.8% as investors reacted negatively to the cautious outlook reflected in a wider-than-usual 2026 EBITDA guidance range, driven by LNG price volatility and uncertainty in the market.
- Reported Q2 EBITDA reached a record $2.5 billion, with growth in volumes, revenues, income from operations, and net income year-over-year.
- 127 cargoes exported in Q2, within the high end of expected production range, aided by operational improvements and maintenance execution without significant downtime.
- Increased 2026 EBITDA guidance to $8.7–$9.1 billion from $8.2–$8.5 billion, but with a broader range due to LNG price volatility connected to Middle East events.
- Contracted portfolio coverage rose to over 91% from 84% previously, indicating strong commercial execution but uncertain market demand.
- Continued capital optimization with $5.3 billion refinanced, $100 million annual interest savings anticipated, and a 122% increase in quarterly dividend to $0.04 per share.
