GASS STEALTHGAS INC.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
StealthGas Inc. reported full-year 2025 net income of $60.6 million (EPS $1.64), down from $69.9 million (EPS $1.91) in 2024, driven by lower equity earnings from joint ventures and the loss of the Eco Wizard vessel. Q4 revenue and net income declined 9% and 10% YoY, respectively, despite fleet growth. The company strengthened its balance sheet, becoming fully debt-free in its owned fleet and increasing cash to $99.1 million.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
Despite strong cash generation and debt reduction, declining core profitability and a 14% EPS drop outweigh positives. Monitor insurance settlement for Eco Wizard and vessel sale proceeds (~$29M) for potential capital return. Downward trend in earnings may pressure valuation despite clean balance sheet.
