Rhea AI CVLG FY2025 2026-05-07

Heavy reinvestment is absorbing a still-cash-generative business, leaving earnings thin and the balance sheet more debt-funded.

Across FY2024 and FY2025, operating cash flow stayed above $113.6M while operating margin fell to 0.3% in FY2025, so the cash engine held up better than the profit line. That gap fits an asset-heavy model: capex remained above $147.6M and year-end cash shrank to $4.9M, keeping free cash flow negative even before buybacks.

The balance sheet is cash-light rather than cash-rich: cash was only $4.9M against $210.0M of current liabilities at FY2025. That leaves routine collections and lender capacity doing more of the liquidity work than cash reserves.

FY2025 included $36.6M of share buybacks despite free cash flow of -$33.9M. With debt-to-equity up to 0.6x, cash generation was still being directed toward reinvestment and shareholder returns rather than rebuilding balance-sheet cushion.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 34/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Covenant Logistics Group Inc's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Covenant Logistics Group Inc has an operating margin of 0.3%, meaning the company retains $0 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 46/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 4.0% the prior year.

Growth

Covenant Logistics Group Inc's revenue grew a modest 2.9% year-over-year to $1.2B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 42/100.

Leverage

Covenant Logistics Group Inc has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 0.58), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 26/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Covenant Logistics Group Inc's current ratio of 1.11 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 24/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

While Covenant Logistics Group Inc generated $113.6M in operating cash flow, capex of $147.6M consumed most of it, leaving -$33.9M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 20/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Covenant Logistics Group Inc's ROE of 1.8% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 44/100. This is down from 8.2% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

2.61

Covenant Logistics Group Inc scores 2.61, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Partial

3/7

Covenant Logistics Group Inc passes 3 of 7 computable financial strength tests (2 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

15.70x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Covenant Logistics Group Inc generates $15.70 in operating cash flow ($113.6M OCF vs $7.2M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk

0.2x

Covenant Logistics Group Inc earns $0.2 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($2.9M vs $12.1M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
