Episode 14 – Cheniere Energy’s Contradiction: Why a $750 Billion Tailwind Didn’t Stop the Volume Collapse

Cheniere Energy (LNG) just posted one of its best quarters ever — a 42.8% jump in revenue and a $7.30 EPS beat — while securing billion-dollar infrastructure commitments and long-term LNG contracts. Yet on August 22, 2025, its stock fell 1.27% as trading volume plunged 33% to 340 million shares. How can a company firing on all cylinders lose market interest overnight?

In this episode, we unpack the contradiction between strong fundamentals and weak sentiment — and what it reveals about today’s markets:

• Why $750 billion in EU energy import commitments and a $2.9 billion Corpus Christi expansion make Cheniere a geopolitical anchor
• How the JERA contract locked in predictable LNG demand for decades
• The split among institutional investors — Vanguard buying more, others selling off
• What a 33% volume drop tells us about short-term “volume-chasing” traders and market liquidity risk
• Why Cheniere’s dip says more about behavioral volatility than fundamental weakness

This episode is a masterclass in how long-term strategy, macroeconomics, and market mechanics collide — and why sometimes the smartest move is to look past the noise.
