Companies NextDecade Corp FollowJuly 13 (Reuters) - NextDecade Corp shares (NEXT.O) fell 23% on Thursday on investor worries over the terms of $18.4 billion financing the U.S. liquefied natural gas developer obtained to go ahead with the long-delayed Phase 1 of Rio Grande LNG export facility. NextDecade said its financial partners and TotalEnergies combined will hold stake that could fetch them at least 79.2% of the cash flow generated from Phase 1 of the project. It also said the lump-sum turnkey engineering, procurement and construction contracts of $12 billion were lower than its forecast of $12.5 billion. "Investors are looking at the huge portion of cash flow that the new project level investors get relative to the equity holders and don't love that," said Sean Morgan, an analyst at Evercore. NextDecade is expected to produce 27 million tonnes of LNG a year from the facility.

A large dent has also come from industrial sectors forced to curb output as high gas prices make production uneconomic with some firms shifting production to regions with cheaper energy. FIGHT FOR SUPPLIESThe obvious way to boost supplies is through liquefied natural gas (LNG). That may not happen next year, meaning Europe would face fierce competition for LNG that would drive up the cost. Record high prices in Europe, however painful, helped the region to secure record volumes of LNG imports this year. Benchmark European gas prices hit a peak in August of more than 300 euros/MWh.
U.S. panel manufacturer First Solar is uniquely positioned to benefit from the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act, Evercore ISI said as it upgraded the stock to an outperform rating. Shares of First Solar have gained nearly 80% since July 27 when Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V, said they reached an agreement on a climate package. The firm added that given First Solar's domestic footprint the company could benefit from trade restrictions on Chinese solar modules. Evercore is not the only Wall Street firm to note the benefits for First Solar from the IRA. Shares of First Solar dipped more than 2% Thursday.
