2. AleAnna Inc. (NASDAQ:ANNA)
Latest 10-Day Percentage Gains: 31%
AleAnna, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANNA) ranks second among the energy stocks gaining the most this week after its shares surged 30.94% between February 23 and March 2. The company focuses on delivering natural gas resources that support Europe’s long-term energy security while also advancing renewable natural gas initiatives.
The stock rally came as European natural gas prices spiked to their highest levels since 2023, driven by escalating tensions in the Middle East and mounting fears of global LNG supply disruptions. Reports indicated that QatarEnergy had halted LNG production after Iranian drone attacks struck the Ras Laffan and Mesaieed facilities—two sites responsible for roughly 20% of global liquefied natural gas output.
The situation was further complicated by Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route through which much of Qatar’s LNG exports travel. The blockade has heightened concerns that global LNG shipments could face prolonged disruptions.
For Europe, the timing could hardly be worse. The region’s natural gas storage levels currently stand at roughly 30%, significantly lower than the 40% recorded during the same period last year. With winter demand still fresh in the minds of policymakers, the possibility of constrained LNG supply has pushed gas prices sharply higher.
Companies like AleAnna stand to benefit from such developments because they focus on securing alternative natural gas supplies that can help stabilize the European energy market. As competition for LNG intensifies between Europe and Asia, producers capable of delivering reliable gas supply may become increasingly valuable to governments and energy buyers alike.
