(Reuters) – U.S. natural gas producer Expand Energy reported a profit for the third quarter on Tuesday, compared with a year-ago loss, driven by increased output and stronger commodity prices.

Average U.S. natural gas prices during the quarter jumped more than 26% over the year earlier, driven by strong liquefied natural gas exports and growing demand fueled by the rapid expansion of AI-focused data centers.
