An announcement from Capital Clean Energy Carriers ( (CCEC) ) is now available.

On December 29, 2025, Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp. announced a further expansion of its LNG shipping fleet with an order for three latest-technology LNG carriers from HD Hyundai Samho in South Korea, for a total en-bloc price of $769.5 million and deliveries slated for the third quarter of 2028 and the first quarter of 2029. The high-efficiency vessels, designed to achieve lower fuel consumption and boil-off rates, reinforce CCEC’s status as the largest U.S.-listed LNG shipping company, extending its LNG newbuilding program to nine vessels and aligning its delivery schedule with a projected increase in global LNG liquefaction capacity by 2030. Together with an additional 10 gas carriers on order, a contracted revenue base of about $3.0 billion and an average remaining charter duration of 6.9 years, the move underscores a strategy of building scarcity value in next-generation gas tonnage while maintaining commercial flexibility, supported by long-term employment secured in 2025 for part of the new LNG carrier fleet and capital recycled from its legacy container vessels.

The most recent analyst rating on (CCEC) stock is a Buy with a $25.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Capital Clean Energy Carriers stock, see the CCEC Stock Forecast page.

The low P/E ratio and solid dividend yield suggest attractive valuation. However, technical indicators point to weak momentum, which slightly offsets the overall positive outlook.
