Venture Global upgraded at Wells Fargo on confidence in data center strategy

Venture Global VG shares fell 1.7% despite a Wells Fargo upgrade to Overweight with a $21 price target, citing confidence in the company's 2 GW AI data center strategy. The company secured GE Vernova turbine slots for 2029-34, which analysts believe could lead to firm data center projects and add $5/share in value. Venture Global is expanding into data centers with agreements for up to 10 GW of power by 2034.
