Just For You Energy Crunch Ahead: 3 Natural Gas Stocks Set to GainWritten by Chris Markoch. Published 10/17/2025. 
Key Points - U.S. electricity demand is rising from AI data centers, EVs, and grid upgrades, creating a multi-year energy crunch.
- Cheniere, National Fuel Gas, and Kinder Morgan provide diversified exposure to the natural gas value chain.
- Each stock offers attractive upside potential with stable cash flow, dividend income, or long-term growth catalysts.
Energy stocks are rebounding from a multi-year slump, but not for the reasons some investors may have expected earlier this year. The price of crude oil recently fell below $60 per barrel and may remain under pressure as recession fears outweigh geopolitical concerns. The United States nevertheless faces a multi-year energy crunch driven by three converging factors: - Rising electricity demand to support data centers, electric vehicles and broader artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
- The need to upgrade the country's electrical grid after decades of underinvestment.
- Ongoing global demand for cleaner energy as many countries continue to phase out coal.
Porter Stansberry and Jeff Brown say a new U.S. national emergency is already underway — and it could trigger the biggest forced rotation of capital since World War II.
They reveal why Trump is mobilizing America's tech giants… and name the two stocks most likely to soar as trillions shift behind the scenes. Watch the National Emergency broadcast here Natural gas is a common denominator across those trends and is widely viewed as a bridge fuel to a cleaner energy future. That's why many investors have piled into natural gas stocks over the past 18 months. Fortunately, it may not be too late to get involved. The three companies below play different roles in the natural gas value chain and present varying risk profiles for investors. America's LNG Growth Engine Cheniere Energy Inc. (NYSE: LNG) is the largest U.S. exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and is central to global energy security. Long-term contracts and expansion projects at Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi help insulate the company from short-term price swings and support steady cash flows and growth. Cheniere's stock is up about 365% over five years and roughly 19% over the past 12 months. In 2025, however, it has risen just over 5%. Analysts forecast the company's free cash flow (FCF) to grow from $3.13 billion (trailing twelve months) to $4.73 billion by the end of 2029. That outlook suggests room for price appreciation. At roughly 13x earnings, the stock trades below its historical average. Analysts maintain a consensus Buy rating on the stock with a $263.60 price target, implying about 16% upside from the stock's Oct. 14 closing price. A Vertically Integrated, Under-the-Radar Gas Play National Fuel Gas Co. (NYSE: NFG) is a diversified energy company engaged in the production, gathering, transmission, distribution and marketing of natural gas. The company operates in the low-cost, high-production Appalachian Basin, a core area for U.S. supply growth. NFG's vertically integrated model — owning upstream production and midstream infrastructure — provides natural hedges against price volatility. The company has an attractive valuation setup, with projected earnings growth of 17% and a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio under 13x. The stock has seen some downgrades recently, but the consensus $98 price target suggests roughly 16% upside. The NFG story also includes a strong dividend record. With 55 consecutive years of dividend increases, National Fuel is part of the select group of Dividend Kings — companies that have increased payouts for at least 50 straight years. The 2.53% yield may not be high, but it is backed by a lengthy track record of consistency; see the company's dividend details here. The Infrastructure Backbone of U.S. Energy Midstream energy companies often see their performance driven less by oil-price swings and more by steady fee-based cash flows. Companies like Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE: KMI) act as toll booths for oil and natural gas. Kinder Morgan owns and operates over 80,000 miles of pipelines, through which roughly 40% of U.S. natural gas is transported. That vast network is becoming an increasingly strategic asset as gas-fired power plants and other gas-dependent infrastructure come online. At about 22x earnings, KMI trades below its historical average. Analysts' $30 price target implies roughly 13% upside, alongside an attractive 4.28% dividend yield.
