Rhea AI TVE FY2025 2026-04-22

TVA’s steady operating cash engine is being overtaken by a heavier infrastructure investment cycle that now requires external funding.

Across the last three years, operating cash flow stayed near $3B even as capital spending moved materially higher year after year. That gap flipped free cash flow from $346M to -$1.1B and was matched by more borrowing, showing the balance sheet is funding expansion rather than just smoothing operations.

Profit recovery is real—net income rebounded from $500M to $1.4B—but the business still looks capital-heavy rather than cash-light. Depreciation ran above $2.2B and return on assets was only 2.2%, which means improved earnings are being spread across a very large physical asset base.

Liquidity is managed tightly: the current ratio remained below 1x, so near-term obligations rely on steady collections and dependable access to financing rather than a large, idle working-capital cushion. Even the higher cash balance of $1.6B arrived with $2.4B of financing inflow, indicating cash on hand improved partly because the company raised funds.

Based on FY2025 annual data, averaged across the last 3 years for performance metrics (most-recent year weighted highest). How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Tennessee Valley Authority'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.

Liquidity

Tennessee Valley Authority's current ratio of 0.92 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 13/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

5/9

Tennessee Valley Authority passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 1 of 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

2.44x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Tennessee Valley Authority generates $2.44 in operating cash flow ($3.3B OCF vs $1.4B net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

2.1x

Tennessee Valley Authority earns $2.1 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($2.6B vs $1.2B). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
