What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide ($79.86 to $538.20). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (59/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Cheniere Energy Inc (LNG) currently trades at $290.85, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $199.99, implying the stock looks roughly 45.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 59/100 (solid quality), in the Energy sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $1,043 per share, and 10 of the 26 models we run sit above the $290.85 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $25.31, and 16 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Cheniere Energy Inc generated revenue of $20.8B at a net margin of 7.1%. Revenue grew 24.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 28.9%. Net debt stands at $27.0B. Fundamentals as of Aug 29, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $79.86 (bear case) to $538.20 (bull case); at $290.85, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 3% below its 52-week high and 57% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at −46% fair-value upside, at −31%, LNG screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $2.55 per share, which is 1.3 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
