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.
Golar LNG's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 28x. In other words, Golar LNG shares trade at around 28x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
Golar LNG's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.02. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
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's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $204.2 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Golar LNG's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 56.82% of net profits
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 $0 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.
Golar LNG's most recent dividend payout was on 2 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Golar LNG's shares have ranged in value from as little as $19.375 up to $39.4. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Golar LNG's is 0.572. This would suggest that Golar LNG's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
