Is Golar LNG stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Golar LNG stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Golar LNG's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Golar LNG's PEG ratio

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Golar LNG's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Golar LNG share dividends

Recently Golar LNG has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Golar LNG shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Golar LNG's case, that would currently equate to about $1 per share.

Golar LNG's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
