We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Commented on These 6 Natural Gas Players. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE:VG) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.
On Tuesday’s episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer weighed in on the recent rally in the natural gas sector and highlighted several companies that, in his view, are well-positioned to benefit from the current environment.
“Alright, lately, we’ve seen this really major rebound in the price of natural gas. It’s up roughly 27% from its lows in under three weeks.”

Cramer said that prices have essentially returned to the levels seen in early January, before concerns over the administration’s now mostly reversed tariff agenda disrupted the market. He explained that the rebound is largely in line with what he expected following President Donald Trump’s election. He contrasted natural gas with oil and noted that Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” mantra would have led to increased drilling, which typically drives oil prices down, but natural gas operates under very different constraints.
He emphasized that natural gas is heavily influenced by federal policy, especially when it comes to exports. According to Cramer, global demand for American natural gas is strong, but meeting that demand requires liquefied natural gas terminals, which cannot be built without regulatory approval. He mentioned that the Biden administration took a less favorable stance on fossil fuel development, while Trump has shown a willingness to approve new pipelines and LNG export infrastructure.
“So here’s the bottom line: In this exciting sector with the natural gas trade coming alive again, I like EQT for production, ONEOK and Enbridge for pipelines and distribution, and the OG Cheniere Energy as a pure play on liquified natural gas exports. I think they very much work here with a fossil-friendly White House.”

Cramer highlighted Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE:VG) as one of the LNG exporters whose stocks have declined, as he said:
“Finally, we want some exposure to the companies leading the way in the liquified natural gas export space, but many of the LNG exporters have proven to be very tricky stocks. One of the biggest up-and-comers, for instance, in the space, Venture Global, came public in January. It’s become a comedy of errors. Even after stabilizing, recovering a bit over the past month or so, the stock sits at 10 bucks and change, that’s down at least 66% from its 25% IPO price.”
Venture Global (NYSE:VG) builds and runs natural gas liquefaction and export sites near the Gulf Coast in Louisiana. The company is involved in transporting natural gas, managing shipping, overseeing regasification, and selling LNG. On April 23, when Cramer was asked about the stock, he commented, “You got to tell him not to get near Venture Global… It’d just be vicious if he owns that stock.”
