Capitalizing on the global energy scarcity through liquefied gas: Strategies for maximizing benefits
Hop on the LNG Bandwagon: Not Just for Asia Anymore
The demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is skyrocketing, and it's not just Asia that's feeling the heat. Countries like Germany are jumping on the bandwagon as well. Two heavy hitters, Air Liquide and Linde, dominate the market and are making waves in the 18-company BÖRSE ONLINE Liquefied Gas Index. With the index hitting new heights, it's the perfect time to diversify your portfolio into this booming sector.
When Russian President Vladimir Putin started cranking down on gas supplies, Germany found itself in a pinch. LNG was the only viable alternative, as its transportable by sea and rail. But even without geopolitical drama, LNG is a game-changer. It's a global megatrend, with demand increasing in every corner of the world. From the chemical industry to Asia's emerging markets, LNG is the future. Germany, however, still lags behind in LNG technology – an opportunity for investors to get in before the gap is bridged.
Air Liquide on the Rise
Air Liquide, a company that's played catch-up in the industry, might just become a major player itself. While Linde had previously outperformed Air Liquide, the gap between the two has narrowed significantly. Air Liquide's impressive margin strategy and comprehensive cost-cutting program have propelled it forward, saving an impressive 497 million euros – far exceeding its 400 million euro target.
Despite Linde's recent 8% surge, its price-to-earnings ratio of 27.3 and relatively modest 1.30% dividend yield make it less attractive for some investors. However, long-term players might still find stability and steady growth with Linde stock.
Invest in the Future with the Liquefied Gas Index
The LNG industry now boasts two leading companies: Air Liquide and Linde. And with global LNG demand expected to rise by around 60% by 2040, according to Shell, it's the ideal time to invest in this sector.
