Greenfire Resources Ltd.

GFR
Energy · Oil & Gas Exploration & Production

Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s price has outrun its earnings. +34.3% in a year against EPS −61.4% — the market is paying now for delivery later.

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +34.3% in a year while annual EPS moved −61.4% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.

The price is between stages while the P/E sits at the 86th percentile of its own 1-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −450.0% year on year, and 147% 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.

Greenfire Resources Ltd. trades at $6.2, between stages. That is +10.8% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 69% of a 52-week range of $4 to $7. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (1 week and counting).

Today the stock is between stages. At $6.2 it trades +10.8% versus its 200-day average and sits at 69% of its 52-week range ($4–$7).

Jul 26: $6.2 Weekly closing price ($) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 1-year window.

Jul 25Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 1.0 years the stock moved +40% while the S&P 500 moved +19% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (1 week and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-24) — 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 86th 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.

Greenfire Resources Ltd. trades at 8.9× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (86th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 7.5×, measured across 1.0 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 8.9× is at the pricey end of its own range (86th percentile), against a long-run median of 7.5× measured over 1.0 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

not derivable — 3-year earnings growth unavailable

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −61.4% against a +34.3% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

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: No read

Stage: No read 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).

Greenfire Resources Ltd. reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 10 quarters across 2 curves, on partial 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. Where the trailing-twelve-month history is short, the curve falls back to single-quarter year-on-year growth — noisier, and the classifier smooths and caps base-effect spikes before reading. Base-effect spikes shown pinned (▲). A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

No sector-relative score — Greenfire Resources Ltd. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Oil & Gas Exploration & Production.

The score is a rank WITHIN a peer set: every metric is scored by percentile against the other members. Without the peer set there is no score to state, so none is invented here.

05 · Revenue

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

Greenfire Resources Ltd. reported $0.1 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, −22.2% year on year. Over 4 years it has compounded at 22.2% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $0.6 B. The last four reported quarters add to $0.6 B.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −28.2% growth against the decade's 22.2% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −28.6% over the last 4 quarters against −9.4%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over.

→ Revenue slipped — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: −64.3% this quarter (−75.4 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.

Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s operating margin is −64.3% in the Mar 26 quarter, −75.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 3.8% to 17.2%. The current quarter is running below every full year in that window.

Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s operating margin is −64.3% in the Mar 26 quarter, −75.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 3.8% to 17.2%. The current quarter is running below every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is −64.3%, −75.4 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 3.8%–17.2%, and FY25's 17.2% is the top of that band — a record year.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −75.4 pp year on year while gross margin went −6.4 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −450.0% 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.

Greenfire Resources Ltd. posted a net loss of $0.1 B in the Mar 26 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.1 B. The 4-year compound rate is −47.5%. That loss is 50.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B. 5 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed −22.2% and the margin −75.4 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −153.1% vs revenue −28.2%. Profit is growing slower than sales — costs are eating the growth before it reaches the bottom line.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 147% 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 147% of Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY25 that was $0.1 B of operating cash against $0.1 B of profit. After $0.1 B of capital spending, $0.0 B was left as free cash.

FY25: operating cash of $0.1 B against reported profit of $0.1 B, leaving free cash of $0.0 B after $0.1 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 147% of profit.

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

FY25: CFO $0.1 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: $0.0 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).

Greenfire Resources Ltd. 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 $0.0 B over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.0% 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 $0.0 B over the last 3 fiscal years.

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 −4% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −10.8 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.

Greenfire Resources Ltd. earns a ROE of 4% in FY25. That is up from a trough of −20% in FY23. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −10.8 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 8.6% net margin on 0.45× asset turns.

FY25 ROE is 4%, recovered from a FY23 trough of −20% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 8.6% net margin × 0.45× asset turns × 1.10× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 4.3% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: −0.6% − 10.2% = a −10.8 pp spread. The 10.2% 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.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.01.

11 · Dividend

Dividend

Greenfire Resources Ltd. pays no dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters it has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings rather than distribute them, which makes the cash-flow and reinvestment sections the place that cash shows up.

Greenfire Resources Ltd. does not currently pay a dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters the company has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings instead of distributing them.

→ No payout to follow. The cash question becomes what the business does with what it earns instead.

12 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

Greenfire Resources Ltd. carries total debt of $0.0 B against shareholder equity of $1.1 B as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.01 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.47 in FY21 to 0.01 in FY25. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Mar 26: total debt of $0.0 B against shareholder equity of $1.1 B — a debt-to-equity of 0.01. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.47 (FY21) to 0.01 (FY25). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.

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.

0.4% of Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s tradable float is currently sold short — the crowd is not positioned against this stock. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 0.8 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.

The latest reading: 0.4% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 0.8 days to buy those positions back. The crowd is not positioned against this stock. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.

→ 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.

Greenfire Resources Ltd.: the Z-score reads 2.78. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits in the grey band between the two. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.78 sits in the grey band — neither clearly safe nor clearly distressed.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 2.78.

Related companies · same industry · Oil & Gas Exploration & Production 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.

Not lately — on a trailing-13-week view Greenfire Resources Ltd. is currently behind the S&P 500 (1 week and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-24), the same metric the week-by-week ribbon on this page draws.

Will Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s stock price go up?

This page publishes no price forecast for Greenfire Resources Ltd. What it measures instead: the stock price is $6.2. Its P/E of 8.9× sits at the 86th percentile of its own 1-year range. Direction is not something this site claims to know. — as of 29 July 2026.

Is the market betting against Greenfire Resources Ltd.?

No — short interest is 0.4% of Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s tradable float, about 0.8 days to cover at typical volumes. That is a low reading: the crowd is not positioned against this stock. With no quarter-by-quarter holder register here, short interest is the cleanest crowd read we hold — as of 29 July 2026.

Does Greenfire Resources Ltd. have too much debt?

No — Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s debt-to-equity is 0.01. A year-by-year borrowings ladder is not in our numbers for this stock, so the latest reading is the cleanest hold. The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed — as of 29 July 2026.

What is Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s capex?

Greenfire Resources Ltd. spent $0.0 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 $0.1 B. — as of 29 July 2026.

Is Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s profit real cash?

Yes — over the last 3 fiscal years, 147% of Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY25, operating cash was $0.1 B against reported profit of $0.1 B. The cash then goes mostly into building capacity. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 29 July 2026.

How financially safe is Greenfire Resources Ltd.?

On the balance sheet, the Z-score reads 2.78 — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the distress zone. That is in the grey band — neither clearly safe nor clearly distressed. — as of 29 July 2026.

Where is Greenfire Resources Ltd. in its business cycle?

Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s FY25 operating margin was 17.2%, against a 5-year band of 3.8%–17.2%: the top of the band — a record year. Record profitability is late-cycle territory: every ratio flatters at the top, and the story leans on margins holding. The latest quarter ran −64.3%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 29 July 2026.

What could break the Greenfire Resources Ltd. story?

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +34.3% in a year while annual EPS moved −61.4% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 29 July 2026.

Is Greenfire Resources Ltd. a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Greenfire Resources Ltd.'s price has outrun its earnings. +34.3% in a year against EPS −61.4% — the market is paying now for delivery later. The sharpest open question: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 29 July 2026.
