Why consensus could be wrong

The consensus may underestimate Golar LNG's ability to recover, as recent operational improvements could lead to better-than-expected results.

Supporting Evidence

Options pricing indicates a significant move, reflecting investor uncertainty that could be resolved positively.

The company's recent focus on cost management may not be fully reflected in analyst estimates.

Key Risk

If the EPS comes in above $0.41, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment and shift market perceptions.
