Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

LNG buyers are seeking to renegotiate their long-term LNG contracts by capitalising on the supply glut to overcome oil-based pricing, destination restrictions and “take or pay” clauses while transferring the shipping costs by pricing on DES instead of FOB basis. Successful renegotiations involving major gas producers suggest the potential for more renegotiation as suppliers trade off flexibility and lower prices in order to increase their supply quantity. With LNG projects streaming in from Australia and North America further decreases in LNG contract prices are plausible in the short term.
