Rhea AI CVSA FY2026 2026-10-25

Profit growth is increasingly cash-backed, while FY2026 balance-sheet expansion relied more on liabilities than retained capital.

FY2026 operating cash flow reached $470M and grew 39.2%, while net income grew only 6.1%; the operating-cash-flow-to-net-income ratio consequently reached 187.0% from 142.5%. That widening gap indicates cash generation was being helped by noncash charges or working-capital movements, rather than tracking reported earnings one-for-one.

Revenue expanded 34.7% from FY2023 to FY2026, while operating income expanded 128.0%, showing incremental sales converted into operating profit at a faster rate. That shift lifted operating margin by 8.0 percentage points to 19.6%, indicating operating leverage rather than merely larger scale.

FY2026 liabilities grew 18.8% while equity grew only 0.9%, so balance-sheet expansion was financed disproportionately through obligations. The current ratio recovered to 1.1x as current assets grew 56.8%, indicating improved short-term coverage came from added assets rather than reduced claims.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 63/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2026. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group, and the overall is the average of the dimensions that can be computed.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Covista 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

Covista Inc. has an operating margin of 19.6%, meaning the company retains $20 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 74/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is up from 19.1% the prior year.

Growth

Covista Inc.'s revenue grew 9.3% year-over-year to $2.0B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 67/100.

Leverage

Covista Inc. has a moderate D/E ratio of 0.45. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 58/100.

Liquidity

Covista Inc.'s current ratio of 1.09 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 24/100. However, the company holds substantial cash reserves (68% of current liabilities), which buffers actual liquidity risk. Large mature operators often run tight current ratios by design.

Cash Flow

Covista Inc. converts 20.1% of revenue into free cash flow ($392.7M). This strong cash generation earns a score of 83/100.

Returns

Covista Inc. earns a strong 17.4% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $17 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 72/100. This is up from 16.5% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe

4.17

Covista Inc. scores 4.17, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The largest contribution to the score comes from a market capitalization of $4.4B against total liabilities of $1.6B. This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

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

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

6/9

Covista Inc. passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 operating efficiency signals passes.

1.87x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Covista Inc. generates $1.87 in operating cash flow ($470.4M OCF vs $251.6M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Safe

8.44x
