Golar LNG Valuation Under Review After Recent Share Weakness; FLNG Backlog Supports Long-Term Upside
November 10, 2025, 2:02 AM EST. Golar LNG (GLNG) stock has softened after a prior surge, but longer-term holders remain rewarded with ~66% TSR over 3 years and ~384% over 5 years. The bull case rests on durable cash flows from long-term FLNG charters, including a $17 billion contracted EBITDA backlog and 20-year charters that bolster EBITDA and contracted free cash flow by 2028. With shares trading near analyst targets, some frame the name as undervalued, with a fair value around $51.10. However, a steep earnings multiple (65.8x) vs. peers (13.5x) and a regression fair value near 23.3x warn of valuation risk. Potential upside hinges on execution and sustained LNG demand; downside threats include project delays and slower growth.
