Shares of liquefied natural gas export terminal operator Venture Global (NYSE: VG) increased by 8.3% today, despite the company missing revenue and earnings expectations for the first quarter and lowering its adjusted EBITDA outlook for the year. The stock surged as management announced that its second liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility would commence full production earlier than anticipated, allowing the company to capitalize on high spot prices for LNG. This optimism outweighed the disappointing financial results reported this morning.
