Why now
Oil & Gas Midstream · market cap $4.9b. 17% off the 52-week high of $57.79. Revenue growing +51% — in hypergrowth territory. 8 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $66.31 (implying +38% upside).
Moat
Net margin 17% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income.
Risk
Trailing P/E 33x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates. P/S 12.4x embeds aggressive forward growth — disappointing top-line guidance would compress the multiple hard. ROE 3% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
Horizon
1-3 yr $66.31 (8-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $97.09 at ~15% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $144.02 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Forward EPS estimate$0.63

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect GLNG to earn is materially higher (+24.2%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A fiscal-year roll fell inside this window: the forward horizon moved on to the next financial year, which shifts the earnings figure without any analyst changing their view. That step is excluded, so the number above covers the rest of the window rather than all of it.

Golar LNG Limited (GLNG): score, valuation & FAQ

Golar LNG Limited (GLNG) is an Oil & Gas Midstream company that scores 35.2 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a weak reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are Rev (A). On valuation, GLNG sits about 17% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 10% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten.

Is GLNG a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores GLNG 35.2 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a weak reading. That is driven by Rev (A). A score is a quantitative screen of Golar LNG Limited's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does GLNG score 35.2 on Bull Rankings?

The score leans on quality at 53.2 out of 100, with value the weakest pillar at 16.5 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. GLNG earns its highest marks on Rev (A). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so GLNG is measured against Oil & Gas Midstream peers, not against the market as a whole.

Is GLNG overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $47.92, GLNG sits about 17% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 10% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 32.8x P/E (graded C). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in GLNG?

Trailing P/E 33x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates. P/S 12.4x embeds aggressive forward growth — disappointing top-line guidance would compress the multiple hard. ROE 3% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
