In this article, we are going to discuss the 14 best LNG stocks to buy now.
According to the International Energy Agency, global LNG supply grew by almost 7% last year, with new LNG capacity coming online in North America being the largest driver. The agency expects the supply growth to accelerate further this year and cross the 7% mark.
The United States is leading this growth as the world’s top supplier of ultra-cooled fuel. According to data from the LSEG and EIA, the country is currently processing around 18 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas into LNG. The US also hit a major milestone when it exported 111 million metric tons (mmt) of liquefied natural gas last year, almost 20 mmt more than its nearest rival, Qatar, and nearly 23 mmt more than it did in 2024. Europe remains the top destination for American LNG, which is replacing the Russian gas supply to the continent following the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine. From January through November 2025, the continent received 68% of the total LNG shipments originating from the US.
The American LNG exporters still have no intention of slowing down and even announced plans last year to increase the country’s liquefaction capacity to 28.7 bcfd by 2029.
With that said, here are the Best LNG Stocks to Invest in.
