Energy · Oil & Gas Midstream · United States · Blend
Is EE undervalued?
Excelerate Energy, Inc. (EE) closed at 32.51 on 16 Oct 2026, close to the GLS average fair value of 35.30 (7.9% below fair value). 3 of the 9 models that produced a number sit above the price, 6 below - the market and our models roughly agree. With little margin of safety either way, the case for or against the stock rests on the quality numbers and the option premium rather than on price.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 4.86 while 10 Cap gives 102.77. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.

Nine valuation models for EE
Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 16.69 | -49% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 26.99 | -17% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 78.96 | +143% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 34.02 | +5% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 11.03 | -66% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 102.77 | +216% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 25.72 | -21% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 4.86 | -85% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 16.62 | -49% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -10.11 | -131% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
On financial health EE scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 5.7 out of 10: a ten-year record that is consistent in some of the metrics the score tracks (revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, returns on capital) and patchy in others.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 1.9%, ROE 5.7%, ROA 0.9% - with debt at 2.10 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 1.0%. Debt of 2.10 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.
The dividend yield is 1.02% with a payout ratio of 27% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Terminal Services 100% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 1.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.7 / 10 | ROE | 5.7% |
| Debt / equity | 2.10 | ROA | 0.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 1.0% | Payout ratio | 27% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 74: Good
EE scores 74 out of 100 on the Wheel Score (Good band, 65-79). The score blends the margin of safety (Value, 16/25), Piotroski health (16/20), the GLS moat (9/15), the option premium on offer (20/20) and how easily the stock trades (14/20). Moat (9/15) is the part holding the score back.
Implied volatility is 51% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 2,782 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 419k shares a day on a market cap of $3.7B, with a beta of 1.25 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 14 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 16 / 25 | 8% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 9 / 15 | moat 5.7/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 51% | |
| Stability | 14 / 20 | 419k shares/day, $3.7B cap, beta 1.25 |
