Cmb.Tech NV

CMBT
Energy · Oil & Gas Midstream

Cmb.Tech NV's price has outrun its earnings. +64.9% in a year against EPS −84.2% — the market is paying now for delivery later.

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +64.9% in a year while annual EPS moved −84.2% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (21 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 75th percentile of its own 4-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +825.0% year on year, and 93% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.

01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Cmb.Tech NV trades at $15.4, in a confirmed uptrend and 21 weeks into that stage. That is +22.4% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 83% of a 52-week range of $8 to $17. On relative strength it has been ahead of the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 4 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 21 of stage 2. At $15.4 it trades +22.4% versus its 200-day average and sits at 83% of its 52-week range ($8–$17).

Jul 26: $15.4 Weekly closing price ($) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2016 Each cell is one week from 2016 to now (526 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the S&P 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the S&P 500 reading is not held.
trailing 13-week return vs the S&P 500
Jul 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.1 years the stock moved +77% while the S&P 500 moved +248% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 4 straight weeks — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

→ The trend is one thing; the bill is another. Are you paying up for it? Next: the P/E sits at the 75th percentile of its own range.

02 · Valuation

Valuation P/E is the price of $1 of annual profit: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar the company earns in a year.

Cmb.Tech NV trades at 9.2× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (75th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 5.3×, measured across 3.6 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 9.2× is at the pricey end of its own range (75th percentile), against a long-run median of 5.3× measured over 3.6 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

P/E 9.2× vs a 5.3× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly step line (right axis). 3.6-year window; loss-period spikes above 16× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

PEG 0.85 PEG ratio per quarter — the P/E divided by the earnings-growth rate. The dashed line marks 1.0: below it the growth is cheap against the multiple, above it the price already prices the growth in. Computed here as quarter-end P/E ÷ trailing-twelve-month EPS growth (only quarters with positive growth), because a reported quarterly PEG is not held for this stock. Last 5 quarters.

not derivable — 3-year earnings growth unavailable

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −84.2% against a +64.9% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the −0.8%/yr price move, ~−18.0%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+17.2 pp from the multiple (expanding). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

→ Cheap or dear rides on the earnings. Are they actually growing? Next: the fundamental stage — where the business sits in its arc, and how growth has compounded.

03 · Stage: Turning around

Stage: Turning around Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Cmb.Tech NV reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −83.9% at the trough to +14.6% off a 1-quarter-old trough, ROCE lifting at 11.8%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

Three growth curves, twelve quarters Year-on-year growth of trailing-twelve-month revenue (left axis), profit and EPS (right axis — they swing far wider), % at each quarter-end. Base-effect spikes shown pinned (▲). A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

66.4/100 — rank 4 of 30 in Oil & Gas Midstream · 72% evidence confidence

Cmb.Tech NV scores 66.4 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Oil & Gas Midstream, ranking 4. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 25.1 + 12.3 + 11.2 + 17.8 = 66.4. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

05 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Cmb.Tech NV reported $0.5 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +116.7% year on year. That is the 4th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at 41.2% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.7 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.0 B.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +108.4% growth against the decade's 41.2% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +107.4% over the last 4 quarters against +30.8%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +14.6% vs −36.9%/yr — accelerating.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 84.6% this quarter (+42.9 pp YoY).

06 · Operating margin

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every $100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Cmb.Tech NV's operating margin is 84.6% in the Mar 26 quarter, +42.9 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −66.7% to 106.4%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Cmb.Tech NV's operating margin is 84.6% in the Mar 26 quarter, +42.9 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −66.7% to 106.4%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 84.6%, +42.9 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −66.7%–106.4%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +42.9 pp year on year while gross margin went +1.6 pp — the gain came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +825.0% in the latest quarter.

07 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Cmb.Tech NV earned $0.4 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +825.0% year on year. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.1 B. That is 71.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +116.7% and the margin +42.9 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +159.8% vs revenue +108.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra dollar of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 93% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.

08 · Cash flow — the router

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 93% of Cmb.Tech NV's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY25 that was $0.4 B of operating cash against $0.1 B of profit. After $1.0 B of capital spending, $−0.6 B was left as free cash.

FY25: operating cash of $0.4 B against reported profit of $0.1 B, leaving free cash of $−0.6 B after $1.0 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 93% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

FY25: CFO $0.4 B vs profit $0.1 B Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, $ B; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 5-year window, annual resolution.

Why: conversion is measured cleanly, but the working-capital day-counts behind it sit below what we hold — the move is shown without inventing its driver.

Router verdict: the visible cash user is investment — the next section checks what the spending is buying.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: $2.0 B of building over 3 years.

09 · Where the cash goes

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Cmb.Tech NV does not report the debtor, inventory and payable day-counts a cash cycle is built from, so this section reads the investment side instead. Capital spending ran $2.0 B over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 39.9% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working-capital day-counts are not in our numbers for this stock, so this section reads the investment side — where the cash is being put to work.

On the investment side: capital spending of $2.0 B over the last 3 fiscal years.

FY25: capex $1.0 B Capital spending per fiscal year, $ B (bars).

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROE is 17% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −0.5 pp.

10 · Return on equity

Return on equity Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. With the full capital-employed split not in our numbers, ROE is the cleanest long ladder we can draw here.

Cmb.Tech NV earns a ROE of 5% in FY25. That is up from a trough of −17% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −0.5 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 8.4% net margin on 0.20× asset turns.

FY25 ROE is 5%, recovered from a FY21 trough of −17% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 8.4% net margin × 0.20× asset turns × 3.21× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 5.4% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 5.9% − 6.4% = a −0.5 pp spread. The 6.4% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.

FY25: ROE 5% Return on equity by fiscal year, % (line); ROIC by fiscal year, % (line). 5-year window, dips included. Dashed line = the 6.4% cost of capital used on this page.

11 · Dividend

Dividend A dividend is cash paid out per share. Dividend per share is the declared amount for the period; the trailing twelve-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

13 · Ownership

Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.

No ownership or positioning reading is held for Cmb.Tech NV, so this section names the gap rather than filling it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 1.1 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.

We hold no ownership or positioning reading for this stock, so this section says that plainly.

→ One last check: does the safety math agree? Next: the balance-sheet safety line.

14 · Safety line

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Cmb.Tech NV: the Z-score reads 0.87. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits inside the distress zone. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

🚨 Why it matters: a Z-score of 0.87 is inside the distress zone — the balance sheet is a real risk, not a detail.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 0.87.

Related companies · same industry · Oil & Gas Midstream Every company is compared on the shape of its own curves, not static ratios. The Revenue, EPS and ROCE columns each draw that company's last 12 quarters as a mini line of the ACTUAL level (trailing-twelve-month revenue and EPS, and the ROCE itself) — so a line that climbs is a business getting bigger, a line that sinks is one shrinking. The colour tracks the same line: green when it is rising or steadily healthy, amber when it is rolling over from a high (still elevated but turning down), red when it is falling, grey when flat or stuck. Colour and direction always agree — a green line never points down. The ROCE curve is the return on capital (annual readings for peers, so a slightly coarser line than the quarterly one at the top of this page). The Stage column then runs the same 12-quarter trajectory classifier used at the top of the page on each company and names where it sits. What lands a company in each bucket: CONSISTENT — growth stays positive across the window and returns are healthy (ROCE ≥ 15%, or ROE ≥ 12% for lenders); IMPROVING — profit or EPS fell into real decline, bottomed a few quarters back, and has climbed back to positive and held there; TURNING AROUND — the same kind of trough but more recent, with the latest quarters just lifting off it (an early, unconfirmed turn); TOPPING OUT — growth is still positive but decelerating hard from its own peak while returns have stopped rising; DETERIORATING — two or more growth curves are shrinking (latest below zero) and staying there, not one soft quarter; MIXED — the curves genuinely disagree, or no clean majority, so no single word fits; NO READ — fewer than eight usable quarters. It is a like-for-like read of every company against its own past, not a ranking against the group.

What is Cmb.Tech NV's capex?

Cmb.Tech NV spent $2.0 B on capital expenditure over the last 3 fiscal years, a figure derived from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. In FY25 alone that was $1.0 B. — as of 29 July 2026.

What could break the Cmb.Tech NV story?

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +64.9% in a year while annual EPS moved −84.2% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.

Is Cmb.Tech NV a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Cmb.Tech NV's price has outrun its earnings. +64.9% in a year against EPS −84.2% — the market is paying now for delivery later.
