Venture Global Wins $1.6 Billion Arbitration Case Against Shell -- Shares Jump
Aug 13 - Venture Global (NYSE:VG) scored a big legal win that sent its stock higher by 14% on Wednesday morning, after an arbitration tribunal sided with the LNG exporter in a contract dispute with Shell (NYSE:SHEL). Traders pushed VG up about 14% as the panel rejected claims that the Calcasieu Pass plant failed to honor long-term cargo commitments. Several buyers, including Shell, BP (NYSE:BP) and Repsol (REPYF), accused Venture Global of selling contracted cargo into the spot market instead. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with VG. Venture Global welcomed the ruling, saying the contracts' plain language supports its position. Shell called the tribunal's decision disappointing and warned that trust in long-term LNG deals remains critical for industry investment. The stakes were high: Venture Global previously estimated potential penalties as high as $1.6 billion if it lost the arbitration. The outcome eliminates a significant overhang on VG and allows management to take a breath in order to concentrate on operations, sales, and commercial activities at Calcasieu Pass. Nevertheless, the ruling does not get rid of the greater market tensions in relation to LNG supply and enforceability of contracts. Buyers and sellers will monitor whether this ruling will alter how the firms will weigh long term contracts against attractive spot opportunities. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

KKR Drops $3B Bomb on Flexera -- Dividend, Debt, and a Power Play in Private Credit
KKR (NYSE:KKR) is stepping in with a heavyweight $3 billion private credit deal to help Thoma Bravo-owned Flexera Software clean up its capital stackand send some cash back to shareholders. The package includes a $2.03 billion term loan, a 590 million ($689 million) euro tranche, and a $150 million revolver. Sources say KKR's credit division is anchoring the deal, alongside Ares, Blackstone, Golub, HPS, and even Thoma Bravo's own credit arm. The loans are priced at 4.75 percentage points over respective benchmarksa premium in today's market, but possibly worth it for the flexibility on offer. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 8 Warning Signs with KKR. High Yield Dividend Stocks in Gurus' Portfolio This Powerful Chart Made Peter Lynch 29% A Year For 13 Years How to calculate the intrinsic value of a stock? The big draw? Leverage. Private credit shops are dangling higher debt limits to keep deals from drifting back to traditional banks, where rates might be better but strings are often tighter. In Flexera's case, the new capital refinances a $1.95 billion syndicated loan due in 2028and adds nearly $1 billion of incremental debt, according to Bloomberg. That gives Flexera room to maneuver, whether that means strategic M&A or simply writing a dividend check to its sponsor. This isn't a one-off for Thoma Bravo. Back in April, it tapped direct lenders for $4 billion to back its Jeppesen buyout from Boeing. The firm seems to be leaning into the private credit playbook: speed, certainty, and structure over price. In a market where banks are fighting to claw back market share, this Flexera deal could be a signal that for some sponsors, the extra leverage and control are still worth the premium.
