Synthesis
Clean Energy Fuels Corp (CLNE.O) is an energy company operating in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The firm is headquartered in the United States and is primarily listed on the NASDAQ exchange. Specific details regarding its operating segments and geographic revenue mix are not available.
Clean Energy Fuels Corp maintains a capital structure characterized by $226.7 million in long-term debt against $559.4 million in total equity, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.41. The company holds $155.6 million in cash and equivalents, which partially offsets its debt obligations, though the risk assessment notes that net cash is negative after subtracting total debt. Liquidity is rated as medium, supported by an operating cash flow of $85.5 million, which exceeds capital expenditures of $25.7 million, indicating positive free cash flow generation despite the negative net income position.
Profitability metrics reflect significant operational challenges, with a net income of -$222.0 million and an operating income of -$159.9 million. Return on equity stands at -39.69%, and return on assets is -21.01%, indicating that the company is currently destroying shareholder value and failing to generate returns on its asset base. The negative EV/EBITDA of -3.64 and negative net income highlight that the company is not yet profitable on an earnings basis, relying on cash flow operations to sustain its balance sheet.
Revenue concentration and segment details are not explicitly provided in the available data, preventing a detailed analysis of geographic or product-specific exposure. The total revenue for the latest normalized period is $424.8 million. Without specific segment breakdowns, the analysis assumes a consolidated revenue stream driven by the company's core activities in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry.
Growth trajectory analysis is limited by the absence of historical period data in the input. The current revenue figure of $424.8 million serves as the baseline for the latest period. Without year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter comparisons, the direction of revenue growth or contraction cannot be determined from the provided snapshot alone.
Risk factors include a medium liquidity risk and low dilution risk. The key flag indicates that net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, which poses a constraint on financial flexibility. The low dilution risk suggests that the company is not currently engaging in significant equity issuance that would erode shareholder value, with basic and diluted shares outstanding both at 219.3 million.
Recent events include analyst coverage updates with a mean price target of $4.21 and a median target of $4.00, reflecting a positive sentiment from analysts with a mean recommendation of 1.88 (leaning towards buy). The high price target is $6.00, and the low is $2.50. The current market price of $2.33 is below the mean target, suggesting potential upside according to analyst consensus. No specific filing or news event details beyond the reconciler enqueue logs are provided.
- The company generates positive operating cash flow of $85.5 million, which covers capital expenditures of $25.7 million, providing a buffer against negative net income.
- Profitability is severely impaired with a net loss of $222.0 million, resulting in a negative ROE of -39.69% and negative ROA of -21.01%.
- Analyst sentiment is positive with a mean recommendation of 1.88 and a mean price target of $4.21, implying significant upside from the current price of $2.33.
- Liquidity is rated as medium, with a key risk being negative net cash after debt subtraction, despite holding $155.6 million in cash.
- Dilution risk is low, with no difference between basic and diluted shares outstanding, indicating no immediate pressure from option exercises or convertible securities.
