Rio Grande LNG Construction Ahead of Schedule, Within Budget
NEXT sits 37% above its 52-week low of $4.75.
Summary
NextDecade's Rio Grande LNG project is progressing ahead of schedule and within budget, a critical milestone for a company that reported a $65.4M Q2 net loss and heavy construction spending. This follows the recent $4.5B financing package and a $1B term loan, which de-risked the project's funding. The company is working with Bechtel to coordinate efficient commissioning and start-up, and continues to expect first LNG production in the first half of 2027. NextDecade received FERC's schedule of environmental review, with the final environmental impact statement to be issued June 25, 2027. This timing supports the company's goal of achieving a final investment decision on Train 6 in the second half of 2027.
