Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into LNG?
At today's price, Cheniere Energy, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about -0.0% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 6.08% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at -5.5% a year, so the market is asking for 5.4 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis LNG looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

Behaviour On Record
What LNG's own history says about today's numbers
- Realized volatility (21d)

Cheniere Energy, Inc. is currently running 46.0% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against LNG's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 88th percentile — elevated for this stock, against a typical reading of 29.3%.
LNG is trading -11.2% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -21.3%, and the deepest was -55.8% in 2015. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.
Price sits +13.2% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 70th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year LNG closed higher on 52% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.
On November specifically: over 13 years of records, LNG finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +1.6% and an average of +3.5%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +4.5% on average, its weakest December at -2.0%.
Overnight risk is measurable too: LNG has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 193 of 3,268 sessions (5.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +9.5% and -10.9%.
Across the last 3 dated reports on file, LNG moved an average of 2.5% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 3 times, with a median move of +1.9% and a largest of -2.9%.
All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against LNG's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
