Venture Global, Inc. (VG) Chief Financial Officer Jonathan W. Thayer executed a series of transactions on March 18 and March 19, 2026 that together represent a significant move in his personal holdings. According to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thayer sold 2,609,923 shares of Class A Common Stock across multiple trades, generating $50.5 million in proceeds. The individual sale prices recorded in the filing ranged from $13.6037 to $16.1205 per share.
The filing shows that the share sales occurred as Venture Global’s stock was trading at $14.29, a level that reflects a 110% gain year-to-date. InvestingPro analysis referenced in the filing indicates the shares are presently valued above the platform’s Fair Value estimate.
Concurrently with the sales, Thayer exercised options to purchase 2,611,111 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.16 per share. The total cost reported for those exercises was $3,737,778 and the option exercises took place on the same March 18 and March 19, 2026 dates noted in the Form 4.

The insider activity unfolds against a backdrop of recent company results and corporate developments. Venture Global reported fourth-quarter 2025 earnings per share of $0.41, falling short of the consensus estimate of $0.59. Despite the earnings miss, reported revenue for the quarter rose to $4.4 billion, up from $1.5 billion a year earlier.
On the financing front, the company said it secured $8.6 billion in project financing for the second phase of its CP2 liquefied natural gas facility in Louisiana, bringing total project financing for that initiative to $20.7 billion.
Analysts have adjusted price targets and maintained positive coverage following recent developments. RBC Capital increased its price target for Venture Global shares to $14.00 and kept an Outperform rating, while noting that 31% of the company’s 2026 cargoes remain unsold. Raymond James raised its price target to $13.00 and continued to rate the company Outperform, describing Venture Global as a leading U.S. LNG provider. Goldman Sachs reiterated a Buy rating with a $15.00 price target after a favorable court outcome.
That court decision was explained in the filings as the New York Supreme Court upholding an August 2025 arbitration ruling favorable to Venture Global, rejecting Shell’s challenge over LNG supply contracts. The combination of the financing announcement, court ruling, earnings and the insider transactions provides the factual context for Thayer’s stock sales, option exercises and new option grant as recorded in the SEC filing.
