Venture Global is surging +10% pre-market after the company announced it has made a Final Investment Decision (FID) for its massive CP2 LNG export facility. This long-awaited trigger de-risks a major growth project, igniting bull sentiment. Can the momentum hold post-market open?

This is a major structural catalyst, not just noise. The FID on the CP2 LNG project greenlights a $15.1 billion project, fundamentally altering the company’s future revenue and production profile.

  • The project is now fully funded through construction, removing major financing overhang.
  • CP2 is expected to have a peak production capacity of 28 MTPA (million tonnes per annum).
  • This decision solidifies Venture Global’s trajectory to become a top-tier global LNG supplier.
But here is the interesting part. You are reading about this 10% move after it happened. The market has already priced in the news. To catch the next winner before the headlines, you need predictive signals, not notifications. High Quality Portfolio has flagged 5 new opportunities that have not surged yet.

Playbook On Market Open

The initial gap up is justified, but the session’s sustainability depends on the market’s risk appetite and interpretation of long-term LNG demand. Here are the two primary paths.

  • BULL CASE (Gap & Go): The stock needs to firmly hold the opening gap. Watch for analyst upgrades on revenue forecasts and heavy volume to confirm institutional buying.
  • BEAR CASE (Gap & Fade): If the broader market sells off or if traders focus on the long lead time to first production (2027), the initial excitement could wane, inviting profit-taking.
  • A failure to break and hold above the pre-market high of $88.00 could signal a lack of immediate follow-through.

Verdict

PIVOT: $85.50. If the price establishes a base above this level, we are biased long. A break and hold below this pivot suggests the gap will fade, and we would favor short-side opportunities.
