AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

At the close on 2026-10-13, Liberty Energy traded at $19.11. This is a cyclical oilfield services business—hydraulic fracturing, wireline, proppant, and related technology—serving North American producers. FairStock classifies it as CYCLICAL because earnings follow the economic cycle, and the filed numbers show why: in fiscal year 2023, the year ended 2023-12-31, the company earned $556.3M on $4.7B of revenue and $3.15 diluted EPS; by fiscal year 2025, the year ended 2025-12-31, net income was $147.9M on $4.0B revenue and $0.89 EPS. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $1.2B and net income $43.1M, or $0.26 diluted EPS, versus fiscal Q2 2025, the quarter ended 2025-06-30, when revenue was $1.0B, net income $71.0M, and diluted EPS $0.43. So volumes may be recovering, but margins and profits are not. Quality is modest. FairStock's calculations show ROE of 6.12%, ROCE of 0.93%, D/E of 0.82, and TTM FCF of -$316.6M, a -9.9% FCF yield. The Piotroski F-Score is 7/9, but Altman Z-Score of 1.61 warns the balance sheet is not fortress-like. The moat is narrow: scale and integrated technology matter, but fracking services are competitive and capital-intensive, with little pricing power through the cycle. Valuation does not offer a Graham-style bargain. P/E is 25.82, P/B 1.59, EV/EBITDA 6.46, and the Graham Number is $14.15, implying price is about 35% above that rough asset-earnings anchor. FairStock Score 26/100 suggests weak overall attractiveness. I would want evidence of durable free cash flow and better returns on capital before treating this as a value opportunity.

In plain English: Liberty Energy provides services and equipment that help oil and gas companies get more fuel out of the ground. The business is still making money, but profits have dropped sharply from their highs and it has been spending more cash than it brings in over the past year. At the recent close, the stock price looks full rather than cheap compared with the company's earnings, asset value, and cash flow.
