Back in January, I thought investors had the sort of opportunity
I love to find in the market - the chance to buy a stock that had been
pounded because a major growth driver seemed to be evaporating, and
pounded to a point where the less exciting, but still profitable, base
business more than justified the share price. Such was the case with Chart Industries (NASDAQ:GTLS) back in January, and the shares have come back nicely since then, even though the LNG growth story is still in trouble.
I
continue to believe that Chart Industries is a good company in the
industrial gas/energy space. With the rebound in the shares, though, I
think the dramatic undervaluation has been mopped up and investors now
have to have more conviction and optimism about the future of the LNG
business to drive a substantially higher fair value. I do believe that
the company stands to generate hundreds of millions of dollars from LNG
export/import facilities in the coming years, but the move toward a more
significant LNG-based transportation chain in the U.S. is farther off
and less certain in my view. Chart still looks like an okay stock in my
view, but there will be a lot of bumps in the road over the next couple
of years, and I think investors should typically shoot for better than
"okay".
