Cheniere Energy Partners, LP is currently running 25.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CQP's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 41st percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 27.8%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.
CQP is trading -7.7% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -22.3%, and the deepest was -56.3% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.
Price sits +6.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 64th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year CQP closed higher on 53% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.
On September specifically: over 14 years of records, CQP finished the month higher 7 of 14 times, with a median return of +0.4% and an average of +0.2%. Its strongest month historically has been January at +3.7% on average, its weakest December at -2.0%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.
Overnight risk is measurable too: CQP has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 205 of 3,268 sessions (6.3% of the time), with the largest gaps running +12.7% and -7.8%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.
All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-09-16 and 2026-09-15, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CQP's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
