Cheniere Energy Stock: A Deep Dive Into Analyst Perspectives (10 Ratings)

<p>OpenAI is making big moves with its $100 billion Stargate project. Still, despite its massive price tag, the first data center planned for Abilene, Texas, is raising eyebrows about how few people it will employ once it's up and running. According to Bloomberg, the sprawling 875-acre facility – about the size of New York's Central Park – will create only 57 full-time jobs, each paying an average of $57,600 annually.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Huge Project, Minimal Jobs</h2>
<p>The Stargate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42486613/kevin-oleary-has-recently-noted-the-increasing-demand-for-data-centers-describing-them-as-a-notable-combination-of-real-estate-and-technology-with-considerable-potential">data center is being built</a> to support OpenAI's artificial intelligence systems, and it's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43139410/softbanks-role-in-500-billion-stargate-ai-venture-seen-as-major-growth-driver-analyst-says">backed by SoftBank and Oracle</a>, who are helping to fund and manage the ambitious project. While the size and scope of the data center are undeniable, the job creation numbers are modest, especially compared to the fanfare surrounding its announcement.</p>

<li><strong>According to Juniper Research, the total value of B2B cross-border payments stored on the blockchain is projected to exceed $4.4 trillion — </strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/web3-enabler-future-of-enterprise-transactions"><strong>Join the first company to bring blockchain payments to Salesforce early with just $100.</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p>President Donald Trump announced the project recently and said it would create "over 100,000 American jobs." However, most jobs will be for construction or other short-term work. Once the center is running, only a small team will be needed. This isn't unusual for data centers – for example, Microsoft's data centers in Texas employ just 325 people, with most of their job opportunities being temporary construction roles.</p>
<p>For example, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801720/microsoft-to-invest-80-billion-in-ai-data-centers-for-fiscal-2025">Microsoft's data centers across Texas</a> employ just 325 people, and most job opportunities are tied to temporary construction work.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Stargate Vision</h2>
<p>OpenAI has bigger plans for Stargate beyond Abilene. The company aims to expand its data center network across the U.S. and raise $500 billion to fund additional facilities over the next few years. According to OpenAI, these projects will create hundreds of thousands of construction jobs, from electricians to truck drivers, mirroring the employment boom associated with large infrastructure projects.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"><strong>Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>Bloomberg reports that in Texas, the first phase of the Abilene site involves building a 200-megawatt data center, with plans to expand to 1.2 gigawatts. To put that in perspective, 1 gigawatt is enough to power 200,000 homes.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Local Incentives and Concerns</h2>
<p>The city of Abilene reportedly gave OpenAI an 85% discount on property taxes for the next 20 years to bring the Stargate project to the area. This is a common way cities try to attract big companies. However, some people worry about the negative effects, like how much energy the center will use and how it might look in the community.</p>

Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</em></strong></a></em></strong></p>
<p>In response, OpenAI has positioned Stargate as a project to strengthen America's AI capabilities and ensure the country remains competitive with global players like China. However, skepticism remains over whether the economic benefits justify the investment.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Musk vs. Altman: A Controversy Surrounding Stargate</h2>
<p>The announcement of Stargate has also sparked controversy, with Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43121798/elon-musk-says-project-stargate-doesnt-actually-have-the-money-after-trump-announces-500-billion-ai-investment-led-by-softbank-oracle-and-openai">publicly criticizing</a> OpenAI's involvement in the project. Musk accused OpenAI of lacking the financial resources to meet its $100 billion commitment, which some see as part of his ongoing feud with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. While President Donald Trump downplayed Musk's comments, insiders suggest the tension has created headaches within Trump's circle, highlighting the complexities of this high-profile initiative.</p>

<p>암호화폐는 횡보 기간 이후 다시 한 번 상승세를 보이고 있으며, 자연스럽게 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/blockchain">블록체인 채굴자들</a>에게도 도움이 되고 있다.</p>
<p>그 중 <strong>테라울프</strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WULF#NASDAQ">WULF</a>)는 금요일 최고의 성과를 내고 있다. 이전의 극심한 변동성에 대한 반응을 바탕으로 테라울프는 앞으로 몇 주 동안 느리지만 꾸준한 상승세를 보일 것으로 예상되며, 이는 트레이더들이 옵션 전략을 계획하는 데 도움을 줄 것이다.</p>
<p>기본적으로 테라울프는 비교적 탄탄한 기반을 가지고 있다. 니덤(Needham)의 애널리스트 존 토다로(John Todaro)는 작년 9월에 이 회사가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40715911/bitcoin-miner-terawulf-leads-early-hpc-market-entry-analyst-projects-610m-revenue-by-2026">데이터 센터 용량을 고성능 컴퓨팅(HPC)으로 전환하는 최고의 채굴자 중 하나</a>라고 언급했다. 벤징가 보도에 따르면, &#8220;HPC는 높은 마진의 대규모 성장 기회로, 장기 계약이 있어 매출과 마진의 투명성을 제공한다.&#8221;</p>
<p>투자자들은 금요일의 개장 가격이 $6.21로 이미 토다로의 이전 목표 주가인 $6를 초과했다는 점을 유의해야 한다. 그럼에도 불구하고 매수 등급을 부여한 기반 — 특히 견고한 성장(전년 대비)과 운영 효율성에 대한 안정적인 마진 사업 —은 여전히 유지되고 있다.</p>
<p>따라서 위험을 감수할 수 있는 투자자들은 테라울프 주식의 상승 가능성에 대해 합리적인 자신감을 가질 수 있다. 그러나 기본적인 뉘앙스는 실제 전략에서 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">테라울프의 다음 가능한 움직임 분석</h2>
<p>일반적으로 테라울프는 약간 부정적인 편향을 가지고 있다. 주마다 주식이 긍정적이거나 부정적인 수익률을 기록할지 여부는 동전 던지기와 같다. 4주 단위로 보면, 기간 시작 시 매수한 포지션이 기간 종료 시 수익을 낼 확률은 45.95%로 떨어진다.</p>
<p>테라울프의 경향을 확률적으로 계산하기보다는(즉, 모든 사건을 하나의 대규모 데이터셋으로 집계하는 것), 투자자들은 극단적인 사건에 따른 행동 변화를 모니터링할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 1월 10일로 끝나는 주에 테라울프는 16.8%의 가치를 잃었다. 지난 5년 동안, 이 블록체인 채굴자가 10%에서 20% 사이의 손실을 입은 경우는 37회 있었다.</p>
<p>이 37건 중 테라울프 주식은 4주 후에 긍정적인 수익률을 기록한 경우가 22회(59.46%)였다. 이러한 긍정적인 결과에서 중간 수익률은 18.46%였다. 다시 말해, 이 회사의 경향을 동적으로 계산할 때 — 특히 극심한 공포 사건에 대한 반응으로 — 투자자들은 비정상적으로 낙관적이 되는 경향이 있다.</p>

<p>그러나 뉘앙스는 가장 큰 단일 주간 비율 상승이 기준 사건(이 경우, 지난 금요일의 종가인 $5.40)에 대해 발생하는 경향이 있으며, 극단적인 변동성 이후 첫 주에 발생하는 경우가 많다. 첫 주의 중간 상승률이 7.84%인 반면, 테라울프는 현재 통계적 경향을 크게 초과하고 있다.</p>
<p>그럼에도 불구하고, 2월 7일 만기 옵션 체인까지 최소한 지속적인 상승 가능성이 높다. 테라울프 주식이 극단적인 공포 사건 이후 2주차에서 4주차 동안 유사한 통계적 경로를 따른다고 가정하면, 주가는 약 $7.23에 이를 수 있다.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">불 콜 스프레드 활용하기</h2>
<p>도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선인이 곧 취임하게 되면서, 암호화폐와 논리적으로 테라울프의 주식에 대해 매우 낙관적인 시각을 갖는 것이 자연스럽다. 트럼프는 블록체인 자산을 국가 우선 사항으로 선언하는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43047039/trump-planning-to-declare-cryptocurrency-as-national-priority-increase-engagement-with-industry-report">행정명령</a>을 발행할 계획이다.</p>
<p>그러나 앞서 언급했듯이, 극단적인 공포 사건 이후의 통계적 경향은 가장 큰 비율 상승이 첫 주에 발생하는 것이다. 두 번째 주부터 네 번째 주까지는 테라울프의 상승률이 약 9.85%로 예상된다. 이는 공개 시장 거래로는 큰 의미가 없다.</p>
<p>반면, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bull-spread">불 콜 스프레드</a>는 레버리지의 힘을 사용하여 짧은 시간 내에 강력한 수익을 제공할 수 있다. 이 옵션 전략은 콜 옵션을 구매하고, 동시에 더 높은 행사가로 같은 만기일에 콜 옵션을 판매하는 것이다. 주식이 숏의 행사가에 도달하는 것이 목표이다. 또한, 숏 콜에서 받은 크레딧은 롱 콜에 대한 데비트 일부를 상쇄하는 데 도움이 된다.</p>
<p>명확히 하기 위해, 예상치 못한 변동성의 발생으로 거래자가 거래에 들어가기 위해 지불한 전체 순 디비트를 잃을 수 있다. 그러나 테라울프가 원하는 짧은 행사가에 도달하면, 특정 거래에 따라 보상이 막대할 수 있다.</p>
<p>공격적인 트레이더들은 2월 7일 만기 옵션 체인을 위한 6/7 불 콜 스프레드(6달러 콜 매수, 7달러 콜 매도)를 고려할 수 있다. 작성 시점에서, 거래를 시작하는 데 필요한 순 디비트는 $47이며, 최대 $53의 수익을 올릴 수 있는 기회 또는 거의 113%의 수익률을 제공한다.</p>
<p>이는 같은 기간 동안 9.85%와는 크게 다르며, 불 콜 스프레드는 정교한 투기자에게 매우 매력적이다.</p>
<p><strong>주가 움직임: </strong>테라울프의 주식은 금요일 미국 동부 시간 오후 3시 15분에 8.87% 상승한 6.37달러에 거래되었다.</p>
