Cheniere Energy, Inc. (LNG): Does This Guarantee Long-Term Success?

Foolish takeaway
Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSEMKT:LNG) has two distinct advantages over all of these other companies. It already has federal approval to export to non-FTA countries and has completed 26% of its first two liquefaction trains. That progress cannot be underestimated, given that construction takes a long time and is extremely costly.

However, all of these companies also have one giant advantage over Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSEMKT:LNG): They are incredibly diverse businesses that can weather the storm should LNG exports go the way of LNG imports. Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSEMKT:LNG), meanwhile, is a one-trick pony, and while it may be the first horse out of the gate, that doesn’t guarantee long-term success for investors.
