Flotek Industries, Inc.

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.

Flotek Industries, Inc. trades at $28.1, in a confirmed uptrend and 75 weeks into that stage. That is +38.3% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 65% of a 52-week range of $14 to $36. On relative strength it has been ahead of the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 2 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 75 of stage 2. At $28.1 it trades +38.3% versus its 200-day average and sits at 65% of its 52-week range ($14–$36).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.2 years the stock moved −67% while the S&P 500 moved +255% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 2 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.

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.

Flotek Industries, Inc. trades at 28.5× P/E, against too little history to rank. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 28.5× is against too little history to rank. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +147.1% against a +116.1% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

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

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).

Flotek Industries, Inc. 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 12 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.

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

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

4-Factor Sector Score

67.9/100 — rank 2 of 30 in Oil & Gas Equipment & Services · 71% evidence confidence

Flotek Industries, Inc. scores 67.9 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Oil & Gas Equipment & Services, ranking 2. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 26.2 + 12.3 + 10.5 + 18.9 = 67.9. 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.

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

Flotek Industries, Inc. reported $0.1 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +16.7% year on year. That is the 6th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at 56.5% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $0.2 B. The last four reported quarters add to $0.3 B.

FY25 revenue came in at $0.2 B (+26.3% on the year), capping 4 years at 56.5% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed $0.1 B, +16.7% year on year — the 6th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +24.2% growth against the decade's 56.5% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +23.8% over the last 4 quarters against +20.2%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating.

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.

Flotek Industries, Inc.'s operating margin is 14.3% in the Mar 26 quarter, −2.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −75.0% to 10.5%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 14.3%, −2.4 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −75.0%–10.5%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −2.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +11.9 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

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

Flotek Industries, Inc. earned $0.0 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −100.0% year on year. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.0 B. That is 0.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B.

Mar 26 profit was $0.0 B, −100.0% year on year. On the full year, FY25 printed $0.0 B (+200.0%).

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 0% of Flotek Industries, Inc.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY25 that was $0.0 B of operating cash against $0.0 B of profit. After $0.0 B of capital spending, $0.0 B was left as free cash.

FY25: operating cash of $0.0 B against reported profit of $0.0 B, leaving free cash of $0.0 B after $0.0 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 0% of profit.

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

🚨 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.

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).

Flotek Industries, Inc. 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.

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.

Flotek Industries, Inc. earns a ROE of 27% in FY25. That is up from a trough of −150% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +10.0 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 12.5% net margin on 1.09× asset turns.

FY25 ROE is 27%, recovered from a FY21 trough of −150% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 12.5% net margin × 1.09× asset turns × 2.00× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 27.3% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 22.1% − 12.1% = a +10.0 pp spread. The 12.1% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. A spread this wide means every dollar reinvested creates more than a dollar of value — the engine compounds.

Dividend

Flotek Industries, Inc. 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.

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.

Flotek Industries, Inc. carries total debt of $0.1 B against shareholder equity of $0.1 B as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.42. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.50 in FY21 to 0.45 in FY25. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

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.

Flotek Industries, Inc.: the Z-score reads 2.72. 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 2.72 sits in the grey band — neither clearly safe nor clearly distressed.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 2.72.
