Natural Gas Services Group 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 Natural Gas Services Group profitable? Natural Gas Services Group, Inc. earned $3.8 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −26.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $19.9 M. That is 7.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $5.2 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $19.9 M (+15.7% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +24.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved −4.4 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +17.9% and revenue +15.4%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace. ## How much revenue does Natural Gas Services Group make, and is it growing? Natural Gas Services Group, Inc. reported $51.4 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +24.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 24.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $172 M. The last four reported quarters add to $189 M. FY25 revenue was $172 M, +9.9% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +15.4% on average, against 24.2% 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 +15.4%, against +15.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +14.3%, against +24.5% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Natural Gas Services Group keep? Natural Gas Services Group, Inc.'s operating margin was 19.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 4.4 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between −12.6% and 23.4%. The latest quarter is within that range. Across 5 years it has been between −12.6% and 23.4%, and FY25's 23.4% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −4.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.4 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead. ## Is Natural Gas Services Group's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 352% of Natural Gas Services Group, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $62.9 M of operating cash against $19.9 M of profit. After $121 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$58.6 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 Natural Gas Services Group's cash go? Natural Gas Services Group, 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 $347 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 67.2% 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: $347 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 Natural Gas Services Group's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Natural Gas Services Group, Inc.'s P/E is 19.8×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 27% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 22.0×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +14.6% while the price moved +13.6%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Natural Gas Services Group business getting better or worse? Natural Gas Services Group, Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. Growth has been steadily positive, but ROCE at 7.4% is below the 15% level needed to call it steady growth. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Natural Gas Services Group earn on its capital? Natural Gas Services Group, Inc. earned a ROE of 7% in FY25. That is up from a low of −4% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 0.5 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 11.6% net margin and 0.29× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 11.6% net margin × 0.29× asset turnover × 2.14× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 7.2% 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: 5.7% − 5.2% = +0.5 percentage points. The 5.2% 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. ## Does Natural Gas Services Group have too much debt? Natural Gas Services Group, Inc. has total debt of $329 M against shareholder equity of $294 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.12× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.00 in FY21 to 0.85 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Natural Gas Services Group shareholding pattern? 3.9% of Natural Gas Services Group, 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 4.6 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 Natural Gas Services Group from balance-sheet trouble? For Natural Gas Services Group, Inc., the Z-score is 1.45. 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 1.45 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Natural Gas Services Group rank in its industry?
