After a sharp multi year run and a recent pullback, the central question is whether Golar LNG still offers material upside or if the easy gains are already gone. The valuation work provides a clearer view.
On the most followed view, Golar LNG screens as undervalued, with a fair value estimate of $66.31 against the last close at $45.61, and that gap is tied directly to how investors value its long term FLNG contracts and funding choices.
The company has secured long term 20 year charters for its existing FLNG units, providing $17b in contracted EBITDA backlog and 20 years of cash flow visibility. This is expected to drive a significant 4x increase in EBITDA and contracted free cash flow by 2028, and the market may still be underestimating how this earnings visibility could support higher revenue and net margins.
See why 26 investors see Golar LNG as 31% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of $66.31 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, the bullish Golar LNG story depends on securing funding for new FLNG projects at manageable interest costs and on turning that large backlog into consistent free cash flow.
