Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Ecovyst share price today? Ecovyst Inc.'s share price was $10.05 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 14.9% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $8 and $15, and at that close it sat 27% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 21 weeks running. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +16% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 12 June 2026. 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 Ecovyst pay? Ecovyst 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 Ecovyst on? Ecovyst 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 Ecovyst profitable? Ecovyst Inc. earned $7.9 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +31.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. The full FY25 year was a loss of $71.1 M. That is 3.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $6.0 M. 3 of the last 9 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does Ecovyst make, and is it growing? Ecovyst Inc. reported $250 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +42.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 4.3% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $724 M. The last four reported quarters add to $869 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 $724 M, +20.9% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +39.9% on average, against 4.3% 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 Ecovyst keep? Ecovyst Inc.'s operating margin was 8.8% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.9 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 10.4% and 16.1%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −2.9 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Ecovyst's profit turning into cash? Over the last 2 years, 224% of Ecovyst Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $140 M of operating cash against −$71.1 M of profit. After $70.4 M of spending on assets, $69.9 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. 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 Ecovyst's cash go? Ecovyst 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 $185 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 8.5% 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: $185 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 Ecovyst's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Ecovyst Inc.'s P/E is 44.5×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Ecovyst business getting better or worse? Ecovyst 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 5 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 Ecovyst earn on its capital? Ecovyst Inc. earned a ROE of −12% in FY25. That is up from a low of −19% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.5 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −9.8% net margin and 0.57× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −9.8% net margin × 0.57× asset turnover × 2.09× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −11.7% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 4.8% − 7.3% = −2.5 percentage points. The 7.3% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 4.8% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 1.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Ecovyst have too much debt? Ecovyst Inc. has total debt of $546 M against shareholder equity of $587 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.93× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.25 in FY21 to 0.72 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Ecovyst shareholding pattern? 6.4% of Ecovyst Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.9 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 Ecovyst from balance-sheet trouble? For Ecovyst Inc., the Z-score is 1.55. 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 1.55 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Ecovyst rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Ecovyst Inc. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Specialty Chemicals. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Ecovyst compared with?
