On fundamental quality it scores 81 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its weakest area is its financial strength (net debt 2.94× EBITDA). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
Cheniere Energy is America's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas: its giant Gulf Coast terminals chill American gas and ship it to Europe and Asia. It sold its capacity on twenty-year contracts before building — the model that made it the pioneer.
