Rhea AI CVLG FY2025 2026-10-03

Covenant operates as a capital-hungry, thin-margin carrier: revenue holds up, but reinvestment and financing absorb most operating economics.

Revenue in FY2025 remained close to FY2022 levels, while operating margin compressed from 9.9% to 0.3%; the deterioration was therefore mainly in economics per dollar, not demand scale. Meanwhile, FY2025 operating cash flow of $113.6M exceeded net income of $7.2M, but heavy reinvestment still prevented accounting earnings from becoming free cash flow.

Debt-to-equity climbed from 0.2x in FY2022 to 0.6x in FY2025, showing greater reliance on liabilities as the asset base expanded. The current ratio ended at 1.1x, so short-term assets only modestly exceeded short-term obligations.

Capital expenditures were $147.6M against operating cash flow of $113.6M. That gap produced an FCF shortfall of $33.9M, meaning reinvestment absorbed more cash than operations generated.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 32/100

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 less than $1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 44/100, 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 40/100.

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 27/100, 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 16/100, 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 43/100. This is down from 8.2% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

2.22

Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. scores 2.22, 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

0.24x

Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. earns $0.24 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.
