⚠️ Don’t buy a stock just because of its price targetA price target is the analysts’ estimate of where the stock will trade in 12 months. That estimate is often wrong. A large study of US stocks from 2000 to 2009 found that only 38% of price targets had been met after 12 months. On average, the targets promised 15 percentage points more return than the stocks delivered. Use the price target together with the financials and the trend, not on its own.Source: Bradshaw, Brown and Huang (2013)

Can Flex LNG go bankrupt?

The Piotroski score (financial health 0-9, higher is better) is 7 — which is strong. Debt relative to equity is 231% (high).

Does Flex LNG have a lot of debt?
Yes, Flex LNG has elevated debt relative to equity. The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E — interest-bearing debt to equity) is 231%. For the energy sector, anything above 150% counts as elevated — that raises the financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or earnings fall. Energy companies should keep debt moderate — falling oil and gas prices can strain the balance sheet quickly. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector. Can Flex LNG service its debt? Could struggle to service its debt — the interest coverage ratio (how many times earnings can cover interest payments) is 3.0x, and net debt equals 5.8 years of earnings (EBITDA).
