Venture Global (VG) Continues to Surge. Here is Why.
The share price of Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE:VG) surged by 18.43% between June 5 and June 12, 2025, putting it among the Energy Stocks that Gained the Most This Week. Let's shed some light on the development. A closeup of the Rio Grande LNG terminal facility, showing its massive scale. Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE:VG) develops and constructs LNG export projects to provide clean, affordable energy to the world. The company is currently the second-largest LNG exporter in the United States. Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE:VG) continues to jump after the company recently reported that it has initiated full mobilization and started site work at its third LNG export facility, CP2 LNG. The 28 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) project is expected to generate 10,500 jobs and pay $4 billion in local property taxes during its operation. The facility is expected to kick off commercial operations in 2027, potentially turning Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE:VG) into the largest LNG exporter in the United States and the second-largest in the world. It was also reported this week that the analysts at UBS have downgraded their rating for Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE:VG) from 'Buy' to 'Neutral', with a price target of $18. The downgrade comes as a result of the stock's limited upside potential, since VG has already surged by more than 100% over the last two months. While we acknowledge the potential of VG as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

RH Defies Tariffs, Earns Surprise Profit
RH's sales growth lagged behind what many investors were expecting to see. The fact that RH made money during the quarter was an unexpected win for the retailer. Other signs of success, including soaring free cash flow, pointed to successes for RH. 10 stocks we like better than RH › Here's our initial take on RH's (NYSE: RH) fiscal 2025 first-quarter financial report. Metric Q1 2024 Q1 2025 Change vs. Expectations Total revenue $727 million $814 million +12% Missed Adjusted earnings per share ($0.40) $0.13 n/m Beat Free cash flow ($10.1 million) $34.1 million n/m n/a Gross margin 43.5% 43.7% +20 bps n/a It's been a tough environment for retailers across the industry in 2025, given all the pressures they've seen. Between macroeconomic weakness and industry-specific tariff issues, RH investors were simply hoping to see some signs of recovery from the luxury home furnishings retailer. Instead, what they got was a blowout quarter. Sales growth of 12% was respectable, even though it fell slightly short of what most analysts following RH had expected to see. But the big news was RH's adjusted net income of $2.6 million, which worked out to $0.13 per share. Most investors believed that RH would lose money, so the success in keeping costs under control and maintaining pricing discipline was particularly significant. RH CEO Gary Friedman said he was proud of his company's results. He noted that although the company is currently in what he called the "worst housing market in almost 50 years," RH is "performing at a level most would expect in a robust housing market." Friedman credited RH's strength to the active steps that the company and its employees are taking to build out a luxury brand that spans across industries and geographical areas across the globe. RH shareholders reacted positively to the news that the company had made money during the quarter. Shares rocketed higher by 19% in the first half-hour of trading in the after-hours session following the market's regular 4 p.m. EDT close. In addition, RH maintained its guidance for 2025, which also pleased investors. Management said it believes that it will be able to grow revenue at a 10% to 13% clip over the course of the full year, generating free cash flow of between $250 million and $350 million. That would represent continued upward momentum for the business during the remainder of the year, and that's something no investor is going to be upset about. As is normal for RH's CEO, Friedman made a number of grandiose comments, including characterizing the company's heavy debt load and aggressive capital expenditures in the recent past as a "washtub bet" on the prospects for the luxury home furnishings specialist. Moves to shift production from China toward less tariff-sensitive sources, including its own North Carolina factory, are expected to ease tariff-related pressures over time. RH came into this quarter's financial release having seen its stock fall by as much as two-thirds from early January's highs. Tariffs have definitely hurt the company both directly and indirectly, but investors now seem to be getting more optimistic that RH will be able to weather the storm and eventually make good on its long-term strategic vision as a unique luxury retail brand with global awareness.
