The Business, in Plain WordsLNG exporter priced above its cycle peak
Picture a fleet of LNG tankers queuing at US terminals while European buyers pay whatever it takes. Cheniere Energy Partners sits right in the middle of that trade, moving gas from shale fields to export. The numbers show revenue up 20 percent and margins at 22 percent, yet the shares trade at $62 against our fair value of $50.
We pass. Forward earnings sit at 13.7 times and the narrow moat offers little protection once new liquefaction capacity arrives. In a cyclical industry the current multiple does not signal value, it signals peak earnings that the market has yet to adjust for.
Currency swings, contract roll-offs and fresh supply from competitors all sit on the horizon. The consensus target of $62 from thirteen analysts already prices in the good times. Analysis, not advice.
