Profitability

100

Stealthgas Inc has an operating margin of 35.8%, meaning the company retains $36 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 100/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is up from 31.9% the prior year.

Growth

Stealthgas Inc's revenue surged 16.5% year-over-year to $167.3M, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 61/100.

Leverage

100

Stealthgas Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.10, meaning only $0.10 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Stealthgas Inc's current ratio of 2.10 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 38/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

While Stealthgas Inc generated $103.5M in operating cash flow, capex of $106.2M consumed most of it, leaving -$2.7M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 21/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Altman Z-Score Safe

3.02

Stealthgas Inc scores 3.02, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($357.1M) relative to total liabilities ($105.7M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

6/9

Stealthgas Inc passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.48x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Stealthgas Inc generates $1.48 in operating cash flow ($103.5M OCF vs $69.9M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Safe

6.8x

Stealthgas Inc earns $6.8 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($59.9M vs $8.9M). This wide margin provides strong safety for debt servicing, even if earnings decline temporarily.
