The main question: the share price moved +42.7% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −172.2%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the VAALCO Energy share price today? VAALCO Energy, Inc.'s share price was $5.61 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 0.9% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $3 and $7, and at that close it sat 70% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 12 weeks in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +43% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. 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 VAALCO Energy pay? VAALCO Energy, Inc. paid $0.25 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.06 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $5.61 that is a yield of 4.46%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is VAALCO Energy on? VAALCO Energy 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 VAALCO Energy profitable? VAALCO Energy, Inc. earned $41.2 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +398.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. The full FY25 year was a loss of $41.9 M. That is 30.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $8.3 M. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was −$41.9 M (−172.5% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +39.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved +29.4 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −405.7% and revenue −21.4%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does VAALCO Energy make, and is it growing? VAALCO Energy, Inc. reported $135 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +39.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 15.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $359 M. The last four reported quarters add to $350 M. FY25 revenue was $359 M, −25.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −21.4% on average, against 15.9% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −25.5%, against −14.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does VAALCO Energy keep? VAALCO Energy, Inc.'s operating margin was 47.5% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 29.4 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 13.8% and 37.7%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +29.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +8.1 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is VAALCO Energy's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 276% of VAALCO Energy, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $213 M of operating cash against −$41.9 M of profit. After $256 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$43.2 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. 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 VAALCO Energy's cash go? VAALCO Energy, 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 $456 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 42.3% 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: $456 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 VAALCO Energy's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? VAALCO Energy, Inc.'s P/E is 24.0×, about the highest it has ever been. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 13.9×, over 10 months of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −172.2% while the price moved +42.7%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the VAALCO Energy business getting better or worse? VAALCO Energy, Inc.'s business is getting worse. Revenue and EPS growth are shrinking: revenue growth is −25.5% in the latest quarter, against +32.4% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at 10.6%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading. ## How much does VAALCO Energy earn on its capital? VAALCO Energy, Inc. earned a ROE of −9% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 7.1 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −11.7% net margin and 0.39× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −11.7% net margin × 0.39× asset turnover × 2.06× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −9.4% 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: −2.7% − 4.4% = −7.1 percentage points. The 4.4% 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 −2.7% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 9.4%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does VAALCO Energy have too much debt? VAALCO Energy, Inc. has total debt of $262 M against shareholder equity of $380 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.69× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.07 in FY21 to 0.33 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the VAALCO Energy shareholding pattern? 7.6% of VAALCO Energy, 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 5.7 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 VAALCO Energy from balance-sheet trouble? For VAALCO Energy, Inc., the Z-score is 0.77. 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 0.77 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does VAALCO Energy rank in its industry?

The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members.
