AI summary

This week Golar LNG priced a private offering of $500 million in unsecured senior notes due 2031, carrying a 7.5% annual interest rate and issued at 99% of principal, with settlement expected on 8 October 2026. The notes, aimed at qualified institutional and offshore investors, follow investor meetings the company initiated as it looks to tap long-term debt markets. Separately, coverage noted that Golar LNG's departure from the FLNG Hilli Episeyo has left Cameroon with a 24,000-tonne annual domestic gas supply gap.

Shares closed at $48.79, down 1.7%, sitting between the 50-day average of $50.78 and the 200-day average of $48.36. The stock is down 5.3% over the past month and 11.3% over six months, though still up 20.3% over the past year. The GekkoIndex reads 66.2, placing it in the Accumulation zone, and the price sits 14.4% below the Gekko Fair Value of $56.98.

The next earnings date falls on 4 November 2026, before the market open, which is outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window.

About Golar LNG

Golar LNG builds and runs marine infrastructure used to liquefy and regasify liquefied natural gas. It owns and operates specialized vessels for this purpose, including LNG carriers, floating liquefaction units, and floating storage regasification units, and this fleet of ships is what the company is chiefly recognized for in the LNG trade.

The company organizes its work into two segments, Shipping and Floating Liquefied Natural Gas, covering the chartering and technical management of its carriers, FLNG vessels, and FSRUs. It also takes on the operation of vessels owned by other parties rather than only its own. As of the end of 2021, its fleet consisted of nine LNG carriers, one FSRU, and three FLNGs.

Golar LNG was established in 1946 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. Its shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker GLNG.

Last earnings call, Aug 13, 2026 AI summary

What they said
Golar LNG announced a fourth FLNG unit (Mark II) ordered at CIMC Raffles, delivering by 2029, increasing total fleet capacity 41% to 12+ million tonnes. Total EBITDA backlog stands at $17 billion across Hilli, Gimi, and FLNG Esperanza through 2045. Hilli completed its 8-year Perenco contract with 100% uptime; Gimi overproduced 15% vs. contractual volumes. Liquidity is approximately $1.5 billion including a $600 million revolving credit facility secured in Q2.
Guidance
The fourth FLNG order could increase earnings capacity by 50% if charter terms match Esperanza's. Management sees potential for 1-3 additional industry FLNG orders within 6-12 months. Golar maintains policy of keeping only one vessel uncontracted at a time.
