We came across a bullish thesis on Chart Industries, Inc. (GTLS) on Twitter by LTVresearch. In this article, we will summarize the bulls’ thesis on GTLS. Chart Industries, Inc. (GTLS)'s share was trading at $128.45 as of April 17th. GTLS’s trailing and forward P/E were 30.80 and 10.91 respectively according to Yahoo Finance.
Chart Industries (GTLS) presents a compelling investment opportunity amid a 34% drawdown from its recent high and a 41% decline from its all-time peak. Currently trading at under 12x 2025 P/E and approximately 7.5x EV/2026 EBITDA, the stock is significantly undervalued relative to its historical average of ~20x P/E over the past five years and ~25x from 2015–2019. Analysts at JPMorgan and Barclays project EPS of $14.88 in 2026, implying 108% upside at a 20x multiple and 56% at 15x. JPMorgan highlights a key catalyst in the second half of 2025, as the large LNG order from Woodside begins impacting operating results. CEO Jill Evanko has also pointed to strong order activity in emerging verticals like mining and space exploration, with expectations to sustain a book-to-bill ratio above 1.0x through 2025. Management reaffirmed guidance of ~14% revenue growth, ~19% EBITDA growth, and a 44% rise in free cash flow to $550 million at the midpoint. With an 8.4% 2025 FCF yield and double-digit growth ahead, the valuation disconnect is difficult to justify. For value-focused investors, GTLS offers a unique entry point in a temporarily beaten-down name with clear growth drivers, resilient end markets, and meaningful re-rating potential.
