CQP•Cheniere Energy Partners (CQP) is sliding as investors react to a newly declared quarterly cash distribution of $0.790 per unit that is lower than the prior $0.830 payout. With the record date set for May 8, 2026 and payment on May 15, 2026, some income holders appear to be repositioning ahead of the ex-dividend window.
