Q2 Revenue Up 48%
Revenue reached $4.578B, up from $3.101B a year ago, driven by higher LNG volumes from Plaquemines as production ramps up. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $1.347B, or $0.54 per basic share.

BP Arbitration Damages Sought
BP is seeking damages ranging from $3.7B to potentially over $6.0B in a pending ICC arbitration over Calcasieu COD delays. A damages hearing is scheduled for May 2027. The company believes BP's claims are without merit and not recoverable under the SPA.
-
Other Customer Claims
Two other Calcasieu post-COD customers are seeking aggregate damages exceeding $2.4B and disputing the applicability of liability caps. The company estimates the caps at $425M in aggregate for these disputes.
-
CP2 Phase 2 FID and Financing
Phase 2 of the CP2 Project achieved FID in March 2026, securing $8.6B in additional project financing, increasing total CP2 Credit Facilities commitments to $20.7B.
Analysis · VG · Energy & Transportation
Venture Global delivered a strong operational quarter with revenue up 48% and net income nearly tripling, driven by Plaquemines ramp-up. However, the 10-Q reveals that BP is seeking $3.7B to over $6B in damages in a pending arbitration over Calcasieu COD delays, with a hearing set for May 2027. Two other customers are claiming over $2.4B combined, disputing liability caps. While the company believes the claims are without merit, an adverse outcome could materially impact project cash flows and debt covenants. The filing also confirms CP2 Phase 2 FID and $8.6B in new financing, underscoring both growth and financial risk.
