Summary Golar LNG's superb execution since December 2019 has paid off, with the share price up more than 400% in that period.

Golar LNG: Wait For A Better Entry Price
Summary Golar LNG's strong market position and innovative FLNG solutions are already priced in, making the stock fairly valued with limited upside potential. Despite a solid backlog and growth potential, recent declines in adjusted EBITDA and high valuation multiples suggest holding the stock for now. The commercial reset with BP improves cash flow and liquidity on the balance sheet. Golar LNG's long-term growth is promising, but current valuation is high; better buying opportunities may arise on future dips. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Apr 18
Golar LNG: A LNG Stock With Significant Upside Potential (Upgrade)
Summary A rising geopolitical volatility combined with a clean energy transition translates into growing LNG demand. One of the best ways to play that theme is in Golar LNG. In 2024, GLNG plans to commission its second FLNG, Gimi. GLNG 2023 results were not exceptional. The company realized 11% revenue growth, although YoY adj EBITDA remained unchanged. With Gimi in operation, I expect considerable profitability growth, leading to increased dividend and buyback yield. I updated my GLNG rating to Strong Buy.
