What Excelerate Energy does

Provides floating LNG import and regasification infrastructure, delivering natural gas to emerging-market power markets.

Earns long-term, fixed daily charter fees for hiring out its floating terminals, and supplies cargoes of LNG to buyers on top, so contracted terminal income is steadier than the LNG trading line. Its terminals include Bangladesh, Brazil and Argentina, and the George Kaiser Family Foundation retains control.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
