Another view on XPLR Infrastructure’s valuation

While the user narrative leans on future cash flows and a very high fair value estimate for XPLR Infrastructure, the current P/E ratio of 17.4x tells a different story. It is above the estimated fair ratio of 4x and slightly above the global renewable energy average of 16.5x, yet below peers at 35.1x. That mix of “expensive” against the fair ratio and “cheaper” than peers raises a simple question for investors: Is the risk that XPLR Infrastructure rerates closer to the fair ratio, or that it closes the gap with higher priced peers?
