The analyst's take on Ecovyst Inc.
Ecovyst Inc. has grown revenue from $1.06B to $723.51M over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about 7.8% a year. The most recent year was up 20.9%, so growth is actually accelerating.
Net margin sits at -9.8%, down 8.7 points year over year on a 21.8% gross margin. It carries about $392.58M of total debt.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly 7.9% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the -16.2% it actually delivered over the last five years, so the price already assumes a step-up from the recent record. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is receivables growing faster than sales.
