Cramer Backs Sempra as LNG Expansion and $10 Billion Deal Boost Outlook

Sempra (NYSE:SRE) is one of the Jim Cramer’s Recession-Proof Stock Picks.

One of Jim Cramer’s favorites from earlier this year, the company has announced a final investment decision for Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 and the sale of 45% equity interest in Sempra Infrastructure.

On September 22, 2025, Sempra (NYSE:SRE) announced reaching the final investment decision for Port Arthur LNG Phase 2. It involved adding two trains and a capacity of 13 million tons per annum (Mtpa). With Sempra Infrastructure holding a 50.1% majority share, the estimated capital expenditure stands at $14 billion ($12 billion plus $2 billion shared).

Though Cramer thinks the yield is comparatively low, he backed the stock with a Buy earlier this year.

“I think Sempra is such a buy, I don’t even care that it only yields 3%. I think that, you know, like this is Jeff Martin, he’s bankable, bankable, bankable. I want you to own the stock.”
