U.S. natural gas prices are on fire this month, surging by about 50% to reach $3.40 per million British thermal units as of Nov. 21, the highest level <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42113449/natural-gas-prices-spike-to-over-1-year-highs-oil-surges-to-70-as-russia-fires-intercontinental-ballistic-missile-to-ukraine">in over a year.</a>
November is poised to mark the strongest surge in natural gas at the Henry Hub pricing point since July 2022, fueled by heightened geopolitical tensions, unseasonably cold U.S. weather and rising export demand.
For investors, this sharp price rebound has cast a spotlight on natural gas stocks poised to benefit from the renewed momentum in the natural gas markets.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are Natural Gas Prices Spiking?</h1>
The price rally has been driven by a combination of factors:
<ul>
<li>Plunging Temperatures Across the U.S.: After a relatively warmer-than-average start to the winter, the situation has drastically changed over the past few weeks. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts the first major snowfall of the season for parts of the central and northern Appalachians, with lower elevations in Pennsylvania and New York also bracing for accumulation. This colder weather has pushed demand for heating sharply higher.</li>
<li>Geopolitical Tensions Between Russia and Ukraine: Russia's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on Thursday, combined with Ukraine&#8217;s recent use of Western-made missiles to target Russian territory, has added a geopolitical risk premium to natural gas markets.</li>
<li>Supply Concerns in Europe: Austria&#8217;s OMV Group revealed earlier this month that it will stop receiving natural gas volumes from Russia&#8217;s Gazprom, reigniting fears of winter supply shortages in Europe and potentially shifting demand to the U.S. for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">7 Natural Gas Stocks Benefiting From The Rally</h1>
As natural gas prices rally, several U.S. energy companies stand to gain from higher commodity prices and increased demand. Here are seven stocks to watch:

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">EIA Natural Gas Outlook: Winter Demand and LNG Exports To Support Prices</h1>
The EIA's latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) is bullish about near-term natural price gains, supported by robust winter demand and growing LNG exports.
With colder-than-expected weather forecasted for the season, the EIA has increased its consumption estimates, particularly in residential and commercial sectors where heating needs dominate. Residential and commercial demand is now expected to average 36 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), representing a 4% increase from last winter.
In 2025, U.S. marketed natural gas production is projected to grow by 1%, with the Permian Basin leading the way with a 6% increase, followed by a 5% rise in output from the Eagle Ford region. 
The EIA anticipates Henry Hub natural gas prices — as tracked by the United States Natural Gas Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) – to climb steadily in early 2025, averaging $2.80 per million British thermal units in the first quarter and $2.90/MMBtu for the entire year. This represents a significant 33% increase compared to the 2024 average of $2.20/MMBtu.
Liquefied natural gas exports are expected to play a critical role in driving demand next year, with exports projected to increase by nearly 2 Bcf/d in 2025. The growth in LNG capacity, coupled with sustained international demand, further strengthens the outlook for higher natural gas prices in the coming year.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs Natural Gas Outlook: $4.00 Delayed Until 2026</h1>
Goldman Sachs offers a more cautious perspective on natural gas prices, citing delays in the construction and operation of new LNG export facilities across the Americas.
According to analyst Samantha Dart, these delays are expected to soften the trajectory of U.S. natural gas price increases and could hinder Europe's ability to replenish its gas storage levels for the 2025 season.
Goldman Sachs revised its 2025 Henry Hub price forecast downward to $3/MMBtu, from a previous estimate of $3.40/MMBtu.
The bank also pushed its projection for U.S. natural gas prices to hit $4/MMBtu to 2026, postponing it from the fourth quarter of 2025. 
The firm indicates that while slower U.S. LNG export growth might ease domestic price pressures temporarily, it poses challenges for Europe, which will have fewer LNG cargoes at its disposal to fill storage next summer.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
