In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.
The liquified natural gas (LNG) segment is a significant growth driver for the American energy industry. The United States is the largest LNG exporter in the world, with 88.3 million tons shipped in 2024, up 4.5% from the previous year. These numbers are expected to receive a boost as the country also has some major LNG export projects under construction, which should come online in the next few years. The US Energy Information Administration expects the country’s LNG export capacity to more than double between 2024 and 2028, from 11.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2023 to 24.4 Bcf/d in 2028, if the said projects come online as planned.
The American LNG industry also received a significant push after President Donald Trump issued an order for the country to resume processing export permit applications for new LNG projects, reversing a pause put in place by the previous Biden administration. Around 82% of the total American LNG exported in the first two months of 2025 was shipped to Europe, as cold weather and strong prices pushed up demand for the super-chilled gas across the Atlantic. The United States remains the major gas supplier to Europe since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and this relationship is set to continue, unless it is disturbed by a rumored trade war between the two parties.
The broader energy sector has fallen by 1.77% since the beginning of the year, compared to a decline of 0.44% by the wider market.
