Here are the key news stories impacting Venture Global this week:

• Neutral Sentiment: Fundamentals that may be cushioning sentiment: Venture Global’s most recent quarter showed a revenue beat and strong margins (healthy net margin and ROE noted in prior results). Elevated volume and a technical bounce from recent lows may be driving today’s uptick as some investors focus on near‑term earnings strength rather than new analyst notes.
• Negative Sentiment: BofA cut its price target on VG, citing reasons outlined in the note — this is a direct negative for sentiment and can pressure the stock as investors re‑value forward expectations. Here’s why BofA lowered the PT on Venture Global (VG)
• Negative Sentiment: US Capital Advisors published a suite of updated EPS forecasts and maintained a “Moderate Sell” rating on VG. Highlights: Q4 2025 EPS $0.39, FY2025 $0.93, FY2026 $0.64, and FY2027 projected at ($0.24); quarterly 2026 estimates range from $0.27 (Q1) down to $0.07 (Q4). That sustained sell rating and a forecasted swing to a FY2027 loss are likely to weigh on investor sentiment and could cap upside until guidance/visibility improves.
