Dynagas LNG has significantly reduced its debt, improving its leverage ratio from 6.6x in 2018 to 2.9x by mid-2024. The company's deleveraging strategy and lower future debt repayments enhance its flexibility, making a dividend resumption more likely. Management's recent moves, including refinancing and removing restrictive covenants, indicate a potential shift towards returning capital to shareholders.
Cheniere Energy benefits from secular trends of rising LNG demand by direct ownership of the largest U.S. LNG terminals. Long-term contracts for 16 years in future on average and unique assets ensure predictable cash flows, with expected 75% cash flow per share growth in the next 3–4 years. Shares at $180 offer a 24% upside to the intrinsic value of $223, per the Discounted Cash Flow Model.

The FSRU sector provides economic solutions for LNG importation when large-scale projects are not the best solution.

LNG boasts impressive financial performance, with improving EBITDA, EBIT, net income, and free cash flows, alongside a solid dividend that will likely increase substantially in the near future. Wall Street analysts and hedge funds are highly bullish on LNG, with the average analyst price target at $206.63 and targets ranging from $191 to $220. Even under pessimistic assumptions, discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis indicates that LNG is undervalued at its current price.

Woodside Energy is in discussions with onshore U.S. gas producers, pipeline companies and companies that share its outlook and view of liquefied natural gas to partner with its Driftwood LNG project, company CEO Meg O'Neill said on Monday.
In recent years, Golar LNG Partners has liquidated virtually all of its assets and distributed the proceeds to cash-hungry parent New Fortress Energy. Following the sale of its remaining assets in Q1/2024, the partnership has become an empty shell with distributions solely dependent on New Fortress Energy honoring its support commitment. As New Fortress Energy is struggling with debt refinancing issues, future distribution support for Golar LNG Partners could be at risk.
