Venture Global (VG) stock rose 5.5% on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, while the S&P 500 gained 1.3%. The rise came the day after the company reported its third-quarter results and raised its 2026 earnings forecast, and Cheniere Energy, one of its peers, rose 3.8% the same session. The shares had already risen 1.7% on November 10, the day of the report. What did Venture Global report on November 10?
Venture Global Beat Estimates And Raised Guidance
Venture Global’s third-quarter revenue was $4.76 billion, above the $4.71 billion analysts had expected. On the basis analysts use for their estimates, earnings came to $0.56 a share, against an estimate of about $0.50. Management said higher sales volumes and higher LNG prices drove the rise in revenue from a year earlier, a 43% increase from $3.3 billion.
The company also raised its 2026 forecast for adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to a range of $10 billion to $10.3 billion, up from the range of $8.7 billion to $9.1 billion it gave in August. Venture Global outlined plans to build power plants to supply data centers at its Cameron Parish and Plaquemines Parish sites, with the first 250 megawatts expected online in late 2028.
Did Venture Global Rise Alone?
No, but it rose further than the companies around it. All 18 other companies valued at $2 billion or more in its oil and gas storage and transportation GICS sub-industry rose during the session, posting a median gain of 1.5%. None of those 18 companies gained 5% or more. The SPDR energy sector fund, XLE, rose 1.9%.
Four of the five companies on Venture Global’s peer list also rose, among them NextDecade at 3.0%. The fifth, Sempra, fell. Venture Global moved with its group that day, but its gain was larger than that of any of those companies.
Where Does Venture Global Stock Stand Now?
A rise like this is not rare for Venture Global: the stock has risen at least this much on 30 sessions in the prior 365 days. Its last move this large went the other direction, a 7.7% fall on November 4.
Over the 12 months to November 11, the stock returned 50.3%, against 12.8% for the S&P 500. Shares reached their lowest close for that period at $5.92 on December 16, 2025, and hit their highest close of $17.53 on March 27, 2026. The stock has given back ground since that peak, losing 8.5% over the past month against a 2.3% fall for the S&P 500.
Management has warned that the start of long-term contracts at Plaquemines will affect margins on the first phase of that plant. The company plans to release its 2027 adjusted EBITDA forecast alongside results for the fourth quarter of 2026, and that forecast is the number to watch.
