Base and Bull scenarios

Base55%

Price target

$443.29

+64.2% from spot

In the base scenario, Cheniere's multi-train expansion proceeds according to company guidance, with all Stage Three trains reaching full commercial operations in FY2027,. Revenue expands through FY2027 and reaches steady-state scale by FY2030, while operating margins normalize as peak spot premiums moderate. Capital expenditures drop from peak levels of the construction build toward steady-state maintenance capex by FY2030, unlocking multi-billion-dollar annual free cash flow. This supports our Fair value of $443.29, representing 64.2% return relative to the share price of $269.95 (as of 2026-10-02).

Consolidated revenue expands steadily across the forecast horizon through FY2027 and FY2030
Operating margins normalize over the forecast horizon toward steady-state levels by FY2030
Reinvestment rate steps down toward steady-state levels as the Stage Three expansion completes
Enterprise discount rate reflects the capital structure with conservative perpetual growth

Bull20%

Price target

$818.35

+203.1% from spot

In the bull scenario, European gas supply diversification intensifies while Asian restocking demand accelerates, driving international cargo arbitrage spreads higher. Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion trains achieve commercial operation ahead of schedule in FY2027, boosting total liquefaction output and driving consolidated revenue toward the upper analyst estimate of $25,903M. High spot marketing netbacks on uncontracted cargoes lift operating margins, allowing diluted EPS to reach $29.72. Capital expenditures taper quickly toward maintenance levels, releasing substantial free cash flow for accelerated share repurchases and balance-sheet de-leveraging.

Consolidated revenue reaches $25,903 million by FY2027
Diluted EPS reaches upper analyst consensus of $29.72
Stage 3 operational ahead of schedule with mid-50s MTPA production
