LNG transport index falls but does not affect a successful year

0

The UP World LNG Shipping Index (UPI), the world’s only stock index focused on LNG shipping companies, lost 1.46% last week. US. Stocks represented by the S&P 500 Index (SPX) fall 0.14%, however, it fails to overshadow a successful year, says UP-indices.com

The year 2022 ended with the stocks of shipping companies, represented by the UP World LNG Shipping Index, falling, but it was a successful year for them. The UP index gained 45%. Furthermore, the index peaked at the end of November and December, and the sector takes advantage of the coincidence of two strong growth forces: the growth of LNG demand not only in Europe and the peak of the heating season.

Excelerate Energy (NASDAQ: EE) and Flex LNG (NYSE/OSE: FLNG) were the largest contributors to the decline in the UP Index, which lost 5.3 and 5.2 percent. GasLog Partners (NYSE: GLOP) lost 3.9% and the “K” line (TSE: 9107) lost 3.1%.

Dynagas LNG Partners (NYSE: DLNG) was the biggest gainer, 6.5%. Malaysia’s MISC (KLSE: 3816) appears to have opted for growth, gaining 3.3%. Chevron (NYSE: CVX) gained 1.2%.

Quarterly results due to be announced in a few weeks should continue to reflect the importance of the sector.
