This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.

18 years of fundamentals
The business, in plain English
Across the filed record, revenue grew from $181M (FY2009) to $19.5B (FY2025) — about 34.0% a year compounded over 16 years.
It earned 25.1% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 13-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 7.4%. Over the v3 recent window (10 measurable filed years), median ROIC was 8.3%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 28/100.
The balance sheet carried $23.0B of total debt in FY2025 against $5.3B of owner earnings — roughly 4.3 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 45/100.
Put together: Pricing Power is the strongest of the five filters (64/100) and Returns on Capital the weakest (28/100), which is how LNG lands at 45/100 — a Shallow moat.
