Equinor stock has delivered very strong 5 year gains, yet current checks on both its market multiples and a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value estimate suggest the shares now trade close to what the underlying cash flows may justify, rather than looking clearly cheap or clearly stretched.

New lithium and energy...
