Another View on Excelerate Energy’s Valuation

While the most popular Excelerate Energy narrative leans on future earnings and fair value at $42.75, the current P/E of 31.2x tells a different story. That multiple sits well above the US Oil and Gas industry at 14x, the peer average at 29.5x, and even the fair ratio of 21.9x, which our model suggests the market could move toward over time.

If the price drifts closer to that fair ratio, today’s premium could compress. A sustained higher multiple, on the other hand, would signal the market is comfortable paying up for Excelerate Energy’s growth profile. Which side of that trade-off do you think current buyers are really paying for: earnings momentum or a re-rating risk.
