Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into LNG?
At today's price, Cheniere Energy, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 6.6% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 6.35% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at -0.3% a year, so the market is asking for 6.9 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis LNG looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

Cheniere Energy, Inc. is currently running 24.4% 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 31st percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 29.5%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.
LNG is trading -9.3% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -21.2%, 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 +11.4% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 65th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year LNG closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.
On September specifically: over 13 years of records, LNG finished the month higher 6 of 13 times, with a median return of -0.7% and an average of -1.3%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +4.5% on average, its weakest December at -2.0%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.
Overnight risk is measurable too: LNG has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 195 of 3,267 sessions (6.0% of the time), with the largest gaps running +9.5% and -10.9%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.
All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-09-23 and 2026-09-21, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against LNG's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
