Horizon Kinetics has highlighted few stocks including Cheniere Energy in an investor’s letter. Here is what Horizon Kinetics stated:

“Cheniere Energy was formerly an oil and gas exploration company. Around 1999, it abandoned its oil and gas drilling strategy in favor of building a liquefied natural gas terminal on the Gulf Coast – management at the time believed that the abundance of the natural gas reserves held within the United States could position it as a large net exporter of liquefied natural gas.

Over the course of the next two decades, Cheniere managed to navigate the quite cumbersome regulatory and permitting process. Eventually, permission was granted, and construction of the Sabine Pass facility commenced. Yet, given the immense capital requirements of the export facilities, Cheniere financed construction mostly through debt. Since a number of years were required to complete the construction, during which no operational revenues were produced, the incremental debt continued to accumulate, leaving it as a highly leveraged company.”
