Shares of Excelerate Energy, Inc. (EE) surged 21.14% in after-hours trading on Friday, following a report that Capital One Securities has named the company as one of its top energy picks. The significant jump comes as investors react positively to the brokerage's bullish stance on the energy sector and Excelerate Energy in particular.
According to the report, Capital One Securities highlighted several key themes in the energy sector, including tax benefits from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, tariff impacts, rising gas demand from LNG projects and data centers, and improved sentiment on exploration and production (E&P) activity. The brokerage specifically mentioned Excelerate Energy among its top picks, alongside Diamondback Energy, Ovintiv, and SLB.
The after-hours rally in Excelerate Energy's stock price suggests that investors are optimistic about the company's prospects in light of these sector trends. As a provider of flexible LNG solutions, Excelerate Energy is well-positioned to benefit from the anticipated increase in gas demand, particularly from LNG projects. The company's inclusion in Capital One's top picks list may also signal confidence in its operational performance and growth potential in the evolving energy landscape.
