Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) plummeted over 5% by midday trading in New York, on track for its worst session in two years.

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also declined by over 4% despite a strong quarterly performance, as the social media giant projected &#8220;significant&#8221; capital expenditure growth next year, particularly for AI infrastructure.

In economic news, inflation sent mixed signals for September. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index slowed as expected to 2.1% annually, while the Fed's preferred inflation measure, the core PCE price index, remained at 2.7% year over year, slightly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41658542/fed-interest-rate-cuts-expected-but-economists-warn-of-bumpy-course-in-this-last-">above the expected 2.6%.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 dropped 1.4%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 slid 2.2%, both tracking their worst session since Sept. 6. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) surged 12%.
Risk aversion also weighed on commodities, with gold prices dropping 1.7%, marking their worst day since July, and silver plunging 3% after a 2% decline on Wednesday. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) slid 2.4%, and crypto-related stocks suffered significant losses. Coinbase Global Inc.

 </style>By carefully studying Cheniere Energy, we can deduce the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
The stock's Price to Earnings ratio of 9.72 is lower than the industry average by 0.6x, suggesting potential value in the eyes of market participants.
</li>
<li>
With a Price to Book ratio of 9.31, which is 2.84x the industry average, Cheniere Energy might be considered overvalued in terms of its book value, as it is trading at a higher multiple compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio is 2.63, which is 0.97x the industry average. This suggests a possible undervaluation based on sales performance.
</li>
<li>
The Return on Equity (ROE) of 20.2% is 14.6% above the industry average, highlighting efficient use of equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
With lower Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $1.93 Billion, which is 0.21x below the industry average, the company may face lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
Compared to its industry, the company has lower gross profit of $1.7 Billion, which indicates 0.22x below the industry average, potentially indicating lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of -20.75% is significantly below the industry average of 9.56%. This suggests a potential struggle in generating increased sales volume.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730214059_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is a financial metric that helps determine the level of financial risk associated with a company's capital structure.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When evaluating Cheniere Energy alongside its top 4 peers in terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following insights arise:
<ul>
<li>
Among its top 4 peers, Cheniere Energy is placed in the middle with a moderate debt-to-equity ratio of 5.99.
</li>
<li>
This implies a balanced financial structure, with a reasonable proportion of debt and equity.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio suggests Cheniere Energy is undervalued compared to its peers in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry. However, the high P/B ratio indicates the stock may be overvalued based on its book value. The low P/S ratio implies the company's sales are relatively cheap compared to its market capitalization. On the other hand, the high ROE, low EBITDA, low gross profit, and low revenue growth indicate potential challenges in profitability and operational efficiency compared to industry peers.

Evaluating Cheniere Energy Against Peers In Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels Industry

Cheniere Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>) short percent of float has fallen 9.62% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.16 million shares sold short, which is 1.41% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.78 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Cheniere Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cheniere Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.20%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

 </style>By conducting a comprehensive analysis of Cheniere Energy, the following trends become evident: 
<ul>
<li>
A Price to Earnings ratio of 9.99 significantly below the industry average by 0.6x suggests undervaluation. This can make the stock appealing for those seeking growth.
</li>
<li>
It could be trading at a premium in relation to its book value, as indicated by its Price to Book ratio of 9.57 which exceeds the industry average by 2.84x.
</li>
<li>
With a relatively low Price to Sales ratio of 2.7, which is 0.97x the industry average, the stock might be considered undervalued based on sales performance.
</li>
<li>
The Return on Equity (ROE) of 20.2% is 14.61% above the industry average, highlighting efficient use of equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
The Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $1.93 Billion is 0.21x below the industry average, suggesting potential lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
The gross profit of $1.7 Billion is 0.22x below that of its industry, suggesting potential lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of -20.75% is significantly lower compared to the industry average of 9.49%. This indicates a potential fall in the company's sales performance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729004497_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio indicates the proportion of debt and equity used by a company to finance its assets and operations.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When assessing Cheniere Energy against its top 4 peers using the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following comparisons can be made:
<ul>
<li>
In the context of the debt-to-equity ratio, Cheniere Energy holds a middle position among its top 4 peers.
</li>
<li>
This indicates a moderate level of debt relative to its equity with a debt-to-equity ratio of 5.99, which implies a relatively balanced financial structure with a reasonable debt-equity mix.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio of Cheniere Energy suggests that the company's stock price is relatively inexpensive compared to its earnings. However, the high P/B ratio indicates that the stock may be overvalued based on its book value. The low P/S ratio implies that the company's stock price is attractive relative to its revenue. On the other hand, the high ROE, low EBITDA, low gross profit, and low revenue growth of Cheniere Energy may raise concerns about its financial performance compared to its industry peers in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels sector.

<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio of Cheniere Energy suggests that the company's stock price is relatively inexpensive compared to its earnings. However, the high P/B ratio indicates that the stock may be overvalued based on its book value. The low P/S ratio implies that the company's stock price is attractive relative to its revenue. On the other hand, the high ROE, low EBITDA, low gross profit, and low revenue growth of Cheniere Energy may raise concerns about its financial performance compared to industry peers in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels sector.
