FLEX LNG vs. Targa Resources: Which Midstream Energy Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?

The article compares two natural gas companies: FLEX LNG, a pure-play LNG shipping company with 13 modern carriers, and Targa Resources, a large U.S. midstream infrastructure operator. While FLEX LNG has lower valuation metrics and higher net margins, Targa Resources is recommended as the better buy for 2026 due to expected 18% revenue growth, strong positioning in major shale basins, and current market tailwinds from geopolitical disruptions. FLEX LNG faces headwinds from oversupply in the LNG tanker market.
