Cheniere Energy stock (ISIN US16411R2085) was last at USD 269.95 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.90 percent from USD 272.40. The company secured a 22-year LNG sale and purchase agreement with Petrobras for 0.8 million tonnes per annum, giving its export business another long-term commercial commitment.

A 22-year LNG contract

According to Cheniere Energy on September 29, 2026, Petrobras agreed to buy the LNG from Cheniere Marketing on a free-on-board basis. The agreement adds fixed-fee cash flow visibility for future liquefaction capacity growth, according to the company release.

The deal links Cheniere to a major Brazilian energy customer into the second half of the century. Cheniere operates the Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi LNG facilities, with 56 million tonnes per annum of production capacity in operation, according to the same company release.

Revenue beats while guidance rises

Cheniere generated USD 5.73 billion in Q2 2026 revenue, compared with USD 4.92 billion in the analyst estimate, while adjusted EPS came in at USD 3.02 against consensus of USD 3.11, as reported by Yahoo Finance.

Management raised full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to USD 7.9 billion to USD 8.4 billion and distributable cash flow guidance to USD 5.3 billion to USD 5.8 billion. The new EBITDA range is above the prior USD 7.25 billion to USD 7.75 billion range, with the change attributed to higher production, improved reliability and stronger marketing margins, according to Yahoo Finance.

Consensus target remains higher

StockHub lists a Buy consensus based on 21 analysts, with a median price target of USD 312.00 and a target range of USD 255.00 to USD 340.00. The median target lies 15.6 percent above the USD 269.95 reference price on October 2, 2026.

That valuation signal sits alongside a clear operating comparison: Q2 revenue exceeded consensus by USD 810 million, while adjusted EPS missed the estimate by USD 0.09. For investors, the contract expands long-term volume visibility, but quarterly earnings remain sensitive to production timing, realized margins and LNG market conditions.
