# Golar Lng Ltd (GLNG) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Price $52.12, market value $5.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 35.7×**. Golar Lng Ltd trades at 35.7× trailing earnings. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 103.2×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **Price / sales: 10.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 10.0×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 2.7×**. The shares trade at 2.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 17.4×**. Enterprise value is 17.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -2.7%**. Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 2.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 49.1%**. 49.1% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Net margin: 16.7%**. 16.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 3.6%**. 3.6% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 6.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 6.0%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 51.1%** (3-yr 13.7%/yr, 5-yr 8.5%/yr). Revenue grew 51.1% over the last year, against 8.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.50**. Debt is 1.50 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 4.0×**. It would take 4.0 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.60**. A Z-score of 1.60 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 1.92%** ($1.00 per share, trailing). Golar Lng Ltd yields 1.92%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 3**. 3 straight years of increases.

- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 55**. An RSI of 55 is neutral.
