# Weekly Recap | Venture Global -11.27%, consensus target above spot

## The Week

Venture Global (VG.US) fell 11.27% this week to close at $14.02, down from $15.80 the prior Friday. The S&P 500 slipped about 0.08% over the same period, leaving the stock roughly 11.19 percentage points behind. The week followed a fade after an early high: Monday opened at $16.08 and hit $16.295 before selling off, Wednesday broke below $15, and Friday closed at the week’s low of $14.02.

## Key Events

Long-term contracts anchored the company’s news this week. On Monday, Venture Global announced a new long-term LNG agreement with China Gas; the CEO also said the company has locked roughly 50 mtpa of LNG production into 20-year contracts, alongside a major long-term energy deal with Shell. On Wednesday, D.E. Shaw disclosed a 5.4% passive stake in the company. On Friday, general counsel Keith Larson sold $11.52m in common shares.

## Analyst Ratings

18 institutions rate the stock: 6 buys, 4 overweights and 8 holds, with no underweights or sells. The consensus rating is buy, and the consensus target of $16.67 sits about 18.88% above the latest price of $14.02. Targets range from $14.00 to $22.00, showing a wide spread. Within the oil and gas exploration and production industry, the stock ranks 16th out of 65 peers.

## The Week Ahead

The US macro calendar includes the Richmond Fed composite index on Tuesday, EIA weekly crude and Cushing inventories on Wednesday, and initial jobless claims, the current account balance, new home sales and EIA natural gas storage changes on Thursday. Energy inventory data could set the short-term backdrop for the LNG complex.

## In Short

The stock dropped 11.27% in a week when the company rolled out long-term contracts and a passive stake disclosure, while the general counsel’s share sale moved in the same direction as the selloff. Ratings are mostly positive and the consensus target is above spot, but the $14.00 to $22.00 range shows wide disagreement. The next question is whether energy inventory data and a stabilisation near $14 can hold the line.
