Shares of Venture Global, Inc. (VG) tumbled 5.65% in pre-market trading on Tuesday following the release of its first-quarter 2025 financial results. The liquefied natural gas (LNG) company reported earnings that fell short of analyst expectations, despite beating revenue forecasts.
Venture Global posted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.15 for the first quarter, significantly missing the consensus estimate of $0.26. This represents a 40% decrease from the $0.25 per share reported in the same period last year. However, the company's revenue surged to $2.89 billion, surpassing analyst projections of $2.76 billion and marking a substantial 104.67% increase from the $1.41 billion reported a year ago.
Despite the disappointing earnings, Venture Global provided an optimistic outlook for 2025. The company expects consolidated adjusted EBITDA to range between $6.4 billion and $6.8 billion. Additionally, Venture Global anticipates exporting 145-150 cargos from its Calcasieu Pass project and 222-239 cargos from its Plaquemines project in 2025, highlighting the company's growth prospects in the LNG market. However, investors seem to be focusing on the near-term earnings miss, leading to the pre-market sell-off.
