Why Venture Global Rallied Today
Key Points Venture Global beat analyst expectations for revenue and EBITDA. The company also announced an important arbitration win in a suit brought by one of its customers. With the stock down nearly 50% from its January IPO, it may be worth a look in an otherwise expensive market. 10 stocks we like better than Venture Global › Shares of Venture Global (NYSE: VG) rallied 9.8% on Wednesday as of 1:55 p.m. ET. The liquefied natural gas export company, which is building several export terminals on the U.S. Gulf Coast, reported its second-quarter earnings last night. Results were solid and above expectations. But on top of that, the company also announced it had won an important arbitration case brought by a large customer, removing a risk that was potentially overhanging the stock. Venture delivers in Q2, and in court In the second quarter, Venture Global saw revenue of $3.1 billion, up 180% year over year, along with adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $1.39 billion, up 217%. Both figures came in ahead of analyst expectations. Management announced the company was ramping production of its Plaquemines terminal quicker than expected, and now expects total cargoes for the year to be at the high end of the previously given 367-389 range, which encompasses both Plaquemines as well as the first Calcasieu Pass project, which entered official commercial operations in April. However, management kept its full-year EBITDA targets unchanged. Venture Global also announced it won its arbitration case against one of its customers, Shell (NYSE: SHEL). Shell brought a case two years ago, after Venture Global opted to sell cargos on the spot market from Calcasieu Pass when LNG prices were much higher following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, rather than to Shell and other customers with which Venture had signed a long-term supply agreements at lower prices. It appears Venture's argument, that it had only sold those cargoes during the pre-commercialization phase and was thus not obligated to sell those cargoes until official commercialization, won over arbitrators. Thus, the potential overhang of financial penalties was removed, it seems. Venture Global is still half its IPO price While the near-tripling of revenues was good to see, investors can look forward to more growth in the years ahead. In late July, the company announced it had made the final decision to begin phase 1 of the second Calcasieu Pass (CP2) project, following the company securing over $15 billion in financing, all while having its credit upgraded by S&P Global. This growth will be very capital-intensive. However, with natural gas seemingly in high demand from foreign customers, both for security reasons and to power AI data centers, Venture Global should eventually be a very high-cash-flowing business. Even after today's rally, the stock is well below its January IPO price of $25. So, enterprising investors may want to dig into this story in the second half.

Why UnitedHealth Stock Was Climbing on Wednesday
Key Points The insurer maintained its dividend policy. This was obviously a relief to worried investors. 10 stocks we like better than UnitedHealth Group › UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH) stock was proving to be beneficial for investors' financial health on Hump Day. They were trading the big health insurance company's stock up by nearly 4% in late-session action, in no small part because of a fresh dividend declaration. That performance marked it as an outlier, as the S&P 500 index had only ticked up by 0.2% at that stage. Quarterly payout incoming Before market open, UnitedHealth's board of directors authorized the payment of a quarterly dividend of $2.21 per each of the company's common shares. This is to be dispensed on Sept. 23 to investors of record as of Sept. 15. Despite some challenges to its business recently, UnitedHealth has held steadfastly to its dividend policy. It switched from an annual to a quarterly disbursement in 2010, and has raised it on a regular basis since then. Over that stretch of time, it has risen strongly from $0.03 to the present level. Although Wednesday's dividend declaration was in character for UnitedHealth, the investor reaction might have been something of a relief rally. Earlier this year the company absorbed a big group of Medicare Advantage patients and to its surprise, those folks made more visits to doctors and other healthcare professionals than anticipated. This impacted fundamentals, and some investors were surely worried the dividend would be suspended. The high profile of a high yield Although it's unwise to buy a stock purely to clock the dividend, UnitedHealth's payout is notable for being generous. Unlike other dividend-paying healthcare stocks, this one has quite a high yield -- nearly 3.3%, against the 1.2% average of all S&P 500 index component stocks. It's little wonder investors were happy the company is maintaining its payout. Should you buy stock in UnitedHealth Group right now?
