(Reuters) – Cheniere Energy reported a rise in second-quarter profit on Thursday, helped by increased demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG), sending its shares up 2% in premarket trading.
The U.S. is the world’s largest exporter of LNG, shipping 15 billion cubic feet per day (bcfpd) of the supercooled fuel in 2025, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, up 26% from 2024.
