Excelerate Energy, Inc. (NYSE: EE) witnessed a significant surge in its stock price, soaring 6.43% on November 8, 2024, following the release of its impressive third-quarter 2024 earnings results.
The company's strong financial performance was a key catalyst driving the stock's upward movement. Excelerate Energy reported an adjusted EBITDA of $92 million for Q3 2024, reflecting a 4% increase from the previous quarter. This growth was attributed to lower operating costs and higher gas sales margins.

Another noteworthy development was Excelerate Energy's decision to increase its quarterly dividend to 6 cents per share, more than doubling the previous amount. This move signaled the company's strong cash generation capabilities and commitment to shareholder returns.
