Cheniere Energy Partners downgraded to Sell from Hold at Stifel

Stifel downgraded Cheniere Energy Partners (CQP) to Sell from Hold with a price target of $51, up from $50. The units have rallied since the election as the perception is that it will be easier to expand Sabine Pass, the analyst tells investors in a research note. While Stifel agrees with that, it believes “too much of that is priced is now priced in plus some.” With Sabine Pass Stage 5 reaching financial investment decision in 2026 at the earliest, it won’t turn on until 2030 or later, contends the firm.
