Most Popular Narrative: 23% Undervalued

Compared with the last close at $12.77, the most followed narrative on Venture Global points to a fair value of $16.67, which frames the LNG deal with ConocoPhillips inside a much broader long term build out story.

Ongoing brownfield expansions and bolt on phases targeting more than 100 MTPA of total capacity are expected to leverage existing infrastructure and financing platforms, improving capital efficiency and boosting long run return on equity and consolidated EBITDA.
