FLEX LNG (FLNG) Reaffirmed Guidance And Held Its Dividend, Is The Stock Fully Priced?

FLEX LNG (NYSE:FLNG) just paired its strongest reported third quarter with a fresh confirmation of full year revenue guidance in the US$345 million to US$370 million range and another US$0.75 dividend.

The fresh earnings beat, confirmed revenue guidance and another quarterly dividend have come against a choppy backdrop for FLEX LNG, with the 30 day share price return down 15.34% and the 90 day share price return down 16.14%. However, the 1 year total shareholder return is 10.20% and the 5 year total shareholder return is 104.98%, which suggests longer term momentum has held up even as shorter term sentiment has cooled around the US$25.83 level.

Most Popular Narrative: 1% Undervalued

On the analyst consensus Narrative on Simply Wall St, FLEX LNG screens as only slightly below its narrative fair value of $26.13 versus the last close at $25.83. That framing relies on contract cover and LNG trade data rather than short term price moves.

The main thing that has to go right is that FLEX LNG continues to translate its multi-year charter backlog, high fleet utilization and current guidance for 2026 revenues of $345 to $370 million and adjusted EBITDA of $255 to $280 million into cash flows that comfortably support its dividend and balance sheet commitments.

Result: Fair Value of $26.13 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the heavy orderbook of 285 to 290 vessels and questions around the US$0.75 quarterly dividend coverage could upset this FLEX LNG fair value story.
