Navigator Holdings Ltd. paid $0.28 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.07 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $20.23 that is a yield of 1.38%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Navigator Holdings Ltd. on? Navigator Holdings Ltd. 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 Navigator Holdings Ltd. profitable? Navigator Holdings Ltd. earned $53.0 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +147.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $100 M. That is 31.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $21.5 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $100 M (+17.0% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +29.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved +12.7 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +69.7% and revenue +11.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Navigator Holdings Ltd. make, and is it growing? Navigator Holdings Ltd. reported $168 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +29.5% 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 9.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $587 M. The last four reported quarters add to $628 M. FY25 revenue was $587 M, +3.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +11.3% on average, against 9.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +10.8%, against +5.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +68.7%, against +34.2% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Navigator Holdings Ltd. keep? Navigator Holdings Ltd.'s operating margin was 28.5% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 12.7 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 11.8% and 25.3%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +12.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +3.4 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Navigator Holdings Ltd.'s profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 219% of Navigator Holdings Ltd.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $202 M of operating cash against $100 M of profit. After $154 M of spending on assets, $48.1 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 Navigator Holdings Ltd.'s cash go? Navigator Holdings Ltd. 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 $387 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 22.0% 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: $387 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 Navigator Holdings Ltd.'s P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Navigator Holdings Ltd.'s P/E is 7.0×, 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. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +23.5% while the price moved +23.1%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. 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 Navigator Holdings Ltd. business getting better or worse? Navigator Holdings Ltd.'s business is giving mixed signals. Growth has been steadily positive, but ROCE at 7.9% 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 Navigator Holdings Ltd. earn on its capital? Navigator Holdings Ltd. earned a ROE of 8% in FY25. That is up from a low of −3% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 0.6 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 17.1% net margin and 0.26× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 17.1% net margin × 0.26× asset turnover × 1.81× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 8.0% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 7.6% − 7.0% = +0.6 percentage points. The 7.0% 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 7.6% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 6.3%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Navigator Holdings Ltd. have too much debt? Navigator Holdings Ltd. has total debt of $926 M against shareholder equity of $1.3 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.73× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.88 in FY21 to 0.72 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Navigator Holdings Ltd. shareholding pattern? We have no ownership or short-position figures for Navigator Holdings Ltd., so this section says so rather than fill the gap. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.6 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. ## How far is Navigator Holdings Ltd. from balance-sheet trouble? For Navigator Holdings Ltd., the Z-score is 1.52. 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 1.52 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Navigator Holdings Ltd. rank in its industry?
