Company Report

Cheniere Energy Offers Returns to Shareholders and Incremental Growth

Cheniere Energy sits between North American natural gas producers and global liquefied natural gas consumers. It seeks to strike long-term purchase agreements with both producers and consumers alike. Long-term purchase agreements allow the firm to lock in a consistent spread between the cost of gas and the fees it charges customers; 90% of all volumes Cheniere produces are linked to these arrangements. These agreements, in part pioneered by Cheniere, last two decades. Both their long duration and strength give investors high confidence in their cash generation.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Cheniere’s size and reputation in the industry are substantial and the firm has successfully contracted volumes on multidecade time frames.

Bears

Due to the high proportion of contracted volumes, Cheniere does not benefit as much from spikes in LNG demand.
