Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Energy / Oilfield Services & Equipment. Price $46.54, market value $4.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 54.1×** (5-yr avg 56.9×, 3-yr avg 56.9×). Kodiak Gas Services Inc. trades at 54.1× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 56.9×. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 14.7×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.25**. A PEG of 0.25 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 3.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.4×.
- **Price / book: 2.2×**. The shares trade at 2.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 10.8×**. Enterprise value is 10.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 0.1%** (5-yr avg 4.1%). Free cash flow equals 0.1% of the market value, below its five-year average of 4.1%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
- **Earnings yield: 1.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 27.4%**. 27.4% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Net margin: 6.2%**. 6.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 6.7%**. 6.7% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 8.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 8.0%.
- **Return on assets: 1.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces 1.9% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 12.8%** (3-yr 22.7%/yr). Revenue grew 12.8% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 58.9%** (3-yr -20.9%/yr). Earnings per share rose 58.9%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 2.12**. Debt is 2.12 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 3.8×**. It would take 3.8 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Current ratio: 0.84** (quick 0.84). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.84**. A Z-score of 1.84 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
