The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises pay? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises on? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises profitable? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. earned $14.3 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. The full FY25 year was a loss of $36.2 M. That is 4.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $58.5 M. 6 of the last 10 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises make, and is it growing? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. reported $320 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +130.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown −4.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $588 M. The last four reported quarters add to $822 M. The quarterly figures for FY23 do not add up to the full-year total on file, so those quarters are left out of the charts and sums. FY25 revenue was $588 M, +1.1% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +43.6% on average, against −4.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. ## How much of every $100 of sales does Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises keep? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc.'s operating margin was 4.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.6 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −9.9% and 8.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −15.3 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises' profit turning into cash? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc.'s cash-flow history is too short to judge how much of its profit turns into cash. In FY25 its operations used $68.9 M of cash, against −$36.2 M of profit. After $16.8 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$85.7 M: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises' cash go? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $37.8 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 2.1% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $37.8 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. has no P/E right now, because its earnings are negative. The revenue and margin sections are where a turn would show first. Measured against sales instead, the market values Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. at 0.9× its FY25 revenue of $588 M. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive. ## Is the Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises business getting better or worse? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 6 quarters of 1 measure, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises earn on its capital? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. earned a ROE of 28% in FY25. That is up from a low of 21% in FY24. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.7 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a −6.2% net margin and 0.89× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −6.2% net margin × 0.89× asset turnover × −5.04× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 27.8% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 12.1% − 9.4% = +2.7 percentage points. The 9.4% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. The 12.1% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 4.4%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises have too much debt? Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. has total debt of $322 M against shareholder equity of $57.4 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 5.62× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 6.87 in FY21 to −2.80 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises shareholding pattern? 15.3% of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.3 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises from balance-sheet trouble? For Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc., the Z-score is −0.61. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of −0.61 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises rank in its industry?
