World Kinect Corporation's share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer.

The main question: the share price moved +48.7% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −1,072.7%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple.

The price has been between phases. Over the last four quarters, results have been improving, and 286% of the last 3 years' profit came in as cash. What will decide it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.

Each bar is one week, from 2025 to now (57 weeks with a reading). Green means the stock's return over the previous 13 weeks beat the S&P 500; red means it trailed. The colour is strongest at a gap of 25 percentage points or more. A gap means there is no reading for that week.

Over the last 1 year the share price moved +30% while the S&P 500 moved +23%, 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.

How much of every $100 of sales does World Kinect keep?

World Kinect Corporation's operating margin was 0.8% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.1 percentage points higher 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 0.5% and 0.6%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Across 5 years it has been between 0.5% and 0.6%, and FY25's 0.6% is the highest of them.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.1 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold.

Is World Kinect's profit turning into cash?

Over the last 3 years, 286% of World Kinect Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $293 M of operating cash against −$614 M of profit. After $65.6 M of spending on assets, $227 M was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Top: operating cash each quarter, $ M. Below: operating cash as a % of net profit; 100% means all of the quarter's profit came in as cash. Last 12 quarters.

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 World Kinect's cash go?

World Kinect Corporation 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 $221 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.2% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $221 M over the last 3 years.

What is World Kinect's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history?

World Kinect Corporation's P/E is 110.0×, with too little history to compare. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 111.8×, over 4 months of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −1,072.7% while the price moved +48.7%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up 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 World Kinect business getting better or worse?

World Kinect Corporation's business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −3101.1% in the latest quarter, against +27.7% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE steady at 7.1%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

How much does World Kinect earn on its capital?

World Kinect Corporation earned a ROE of −47% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 4.3 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a −1.7% net margin and 6.30× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −1.7% net margin × 6.30× asset turnover × 4.48× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −48.0% 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: 16.1% − 11.8% = +4.3 percentage points. The 11.8% 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 16.1% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 9.9%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method.

Does World Kinect have too much debt?

World Kinect Corporation has total debt of $745 M against shareholder equity of $1.3 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.59× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.35 in FY21 to 0.66 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

What is the World Kinect shareholding pattern?

23.2% of World Kinect Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 10.1 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead.

There is no quarter-by-quarter list of owners here, so we look at short interest: the share of tradable shares held in short positions, which gain if the price falls.

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 has the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story.

How far is World Kinect from balance-sheet trouble?

For World Kinect Corporation, the Z-score is 7.06. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure.

The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 7.06 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here.

How does World Kinect rank in its industry?

48.2 out of 100, rank 11 of 17 in Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing, with 64% of the evidence available.

World Kinect Corporation scores 48.2 out of 100 against the 17 companies it is compared with in Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing, ranking 11. Relative strength against the index is 20.4%, and revenue and profit growth are weak.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

How is World Kinect performing?

World Kinect Corporation's latest readings are below. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, for 1 week running. This describes what the data did, not a rating (as of 4 November 2026).

Will World Kinect's stock price go up?

This page does not forecast World Kinect Corporation's stock price. What it shows instead: the stock price is $38.00. Nobody can reliably say which way a price will move, and this site does not try (as of 4 November 2026).

Does World Kinect have too much debt?

World Kinect Corporation has a moderate amount of debt: its debt is 0.54× its equity. A year-by-year history of its borrowings is not in our data, so this uses the latest reading. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page (as of 4 November 2026).

Is World Kinect's profit real cash?

Yes, over the last 3 years, 286% of World Kinect Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from operations. The latest year was lower at -48%, so the trend is worth watching. In FY25, operating cash was $293 M against reported profit of −$614 M.

Most of that cash then goes into building new capacity. These are yearly figures (as of 4 November 2026).

Where is World Kinect in its business cycle?

World Kinect Corporation's FY25 operating margin was 0.6%, against a 5-year range of 0.5% to 0.6%: the top of its range, a record year. When profit is at a record, every ratio looks better than usual, and the story depends on margins staying high. The latest quarter was 0.8%.

Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 4 November 2026).

What could break the World Kinect story?

The main question: the share price moved +48.7% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −1,072.7%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple.

Is World Kinect a stock worth studying right now?

What the numbers show: World Kinect Corporation's share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer. The main open question: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.
