 </style>By conducting a comprehensive analysis of Cheniere Energy, the following trends become evident: 
<ul>
<li>
A Price to Earnings ratio of 9.99 significantly below the industry average by 0.6x suggests undervaluation. This can make the stock appealing for those seeking growth.
</li>
<li>
It could be trading at a premium in relation to its book value, as indicated by its Price to Book ratio of 9.57 which exceeds the industry average by 2.84x.
</li>
<li>
With a relatively low Price to Sales ratio of 2.7, which is 0.97x the industry average, the stock might be considered undervalued based on sales performance.
</li>
<li>
The Return on Equity (ROE) of 20.2% is 14.61% above the industry average, highlighting efficient use of equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
The Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $1.93 Billion is 0.21x below the industry average, suggesting potential lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
The gross profit of $1.7 Billion is 0.22x below that of its industry, suggesting potential lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of -20.75% is significantly lower compared to the industry average of 9.49%. This indicates a potential fall in the company's sales performance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729004497_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio indicates the proportion of debt and equity used by a company to finance its assets and operations.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When assessing Cheniere Energy against its top 4 peers using the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following comparisons can be made:
<ul>
<li>
In the context of the debt-to-equity ratio, Cheniere Energy holds a middle position among its top 4 peers.
</li>
<li>
This indicates a moderate level of debt relative to its equity with a debt-to-equity ratio of 5.99, which implies a relatively balanced financial structure with a reasonable debt-equity mix.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio of Cheniere Energy suggests that the company's stock price is relatively inexpensive compared to its earnings. However, the high P/B ratio indicates that the stock may be overvalued based on its book value. The low P/S ratio implies that the company's stock price is attractive relative to its revenue. On the other hand, the high ROE, low EBITDA, low gross profit, and low revenue growth of Cheniere Energy may raise concerns about its financial performance compared to its industry peers in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels sector.

The company owns Florida Power &amp; Light, which has more than six million customers in Florida. A report said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41266095/hurricane-milton-knocks-out-power-for-over-2m-in-florida-nextera-energy-duke-energy-and-tampa-electr">over 900,000 lost power</a> after Hurricane Milton struck the state. While the power outages could have a short-term negative impact on the company, NextEra is also the owner of a renewable energy segment and should be able to recover from the hurricane impact over the long term.
The company is set to report third-quarter financial results on Oct. 23, which could provide more commentary on the storm's impact. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in nine of the past 10 quarters and beaten revenue estimates in six of the past 10 quarters.

<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1725980442_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio helps evaluate the capital structure and financial leverage of a company.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
By evaluating Cheniere Energy against its top 4 peers in terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following observations arise:
<ul>
<li>
When compared to its top 4 peers, Cheniere Energy has a moderate debt-to-equity ratio of 5.99.
</li>
<li>
This implies that the company maintains a balanced financial structure with a reasonable level of debt and an appropriate reliance on equity financing.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio of Cheniere Energy suggests that the company's stock price is relatively inexpensive compared to its earnings. However, the high P/B ratio indicates that the stock may be overvalued based on its book value. The low P/S ratio implies that the company's stock price is attractive relative to its revenue. On the other hand, the high ROE, low EBITDA, low gross profit, and low revenue growth of Cheniere Energy may raise concerns about its financial performance compared to industry peers in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels sector.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Investigating Cheniere Energy's Standing In Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels Industry Compared To Competitors

Cheniere Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.32% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.51 million shares sold short, which is 1.56% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.23 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
