Dividend coverage
Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which GLNG reported a dividend payment is FY2012, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2012 ratio would not describe GLNG today.
Coverage is derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures, comparing dividends paid against net income and free cash flow for the SAME fiscal year. It is not shown here because the latest fiscal year with a reported dividend payment (FY2012) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year.

How GOLAR LNG LTD looks technically
GOLAR LNG LTD (GLNG) is trading 11.8% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 121 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong uptrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 26, with buyers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 60, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day high about 6 trading days ago.

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 60, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 60.3 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading around the middle of its 14-day range ($48.80 to $55.50) — its "stochastic" reading is 48 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 47.8 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in positive territory (momentum leaning bullish) | 14 sessions |
Range

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $74.44 (set on 2014-09-19) | $74.44 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($35.33 to $57.36), and it has given back roughly a quarter of its rise from last year’s low — 24% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $43.04 to $43.75. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 24.3% |
| From the all-time high | it is 30.1% below its all-time high | -30.1% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a resistance level at $52.16 — a price it turned at three times since 2026-04-08, most recently on 2026-07-14. Since 2024-08-21 it has 12 such levels below the current price and 1 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +0.3% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $2.63 (set on 2009-03-09) | $2.63 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 1877.2% above its all-time low | +1,877% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 56th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.42 between its high and its low — about 2.7% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $1.42 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $47.49 and $53.51 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $47.49 – $50.50 – $53.51 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.7% in a typical session — calmer than most companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 2.7% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 3.8 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (11.8% above it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 3.8 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

| Since a bullish engulfing | 7 sessions ago it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | 7 sessions ago |
Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 1.0% above the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | +1.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 8.4% gap up opened on 2026-08-13 has been "filled" 6 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 6 sessions ago |
Price streaks

Signal agreement

| Bullish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a strong uptrend, with buyers in control, a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, trading above its 200-day average, MACD momentum is positive, outperforming the market over 6 months — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 0 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 0 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading inside the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-16 and projected forward over today's price, the zone traders read as unresolved — neither side has established a trend, and the band is where that gets settled. The band itself is moderate, spanning 5.3% of the share price. | 0.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
1
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 5% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $49.47 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +5.1% |

Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.

Analyst EPS estimate for GLNG
- Consensus EPS estimate$0.00124 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-21
Change over time is not available yet: it needs two readings of the same reporting period at least 30 days apart, and we have been recording these estimates since 2026-08-04. An estimate for a DIFFERENT quarter is not a revision, so a reading from before the last report is never compared with one after it.
The consensus estimate for the next reporting period, and how it has moved between readings of that SAME period. A change is measured only between readings estimating one period — when a company reports, the consensus moves to the next quarter and the two numbers are not comparable. Informational only, not a forecast and not advice.

Short interest (FINRA)
GLNG had 6,699,623 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for GLNG because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
