Is Cheniere Energy, Inc. (LNG) One of the Most Profitable Energy Stocks to Buy Right Now?

Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSE:LNG) is one of the most profitable energy stocks to buy right now. On October 8, Goldman Sachs reiterated a ‘Buy’ rating on the stock and raised the price target to $280 from $265. The price hike comes amid expectations that the company will deliver solid third-quarter results, strengthening the stock’s market sentiment.

The investment bank expects the company to post EBITDA of $1.62 billion, slightly above its previous estimate of $1.60 billion. The company’s EBITDA over the last 12 months stands at $3.86 billion, backed by 10.6% revenue growth.

While the company experienced lower inlet gas flows at Corpus Christi following plant downtime, Goldman Sachs is confident that better-optimized assumptions offset the impact of marked-to-market commodity prices. Likewise, it expects Cheniere Energy to benefit from sequential improvements expected to trigger lower maintenance impacts.
