Rhea AI VIST FY2025 2026-04-28

Profit growth is funding only part of a capex-heavy expansion cycle, leaving free cash flow deeply negative.

By FY2025, net income reached $719M but free cash flow fell to -$659M, a gap too large to dismiss as normal timing noise. The driver is capital spending: capex hit $1.5B while operating cash flow was $796M, so the business is converting earnings into new assets rather than surplus cash.

The balance sheet is lightly levered in a traditional borrowing sense: debt-to-equity was just 0.04x in FY2025, and interest expense was only $3.3M. But near-term liquidity is tighter than that leverage picture suggests, with a current ratio of 0.9x and cash of $538M after the investment surge. Solvency looks conservative; self-funding this pace of expansion does not.

Since FY2023, total assets have nearly tripled to $7.1B while return on assets slipped to 10.1%, showing the asset base is growing faster than its current earning efficiency. Profitability on sales stayed broadly steady, with net margin at 29.0% in FY2024 and 29.1% in FY2025. That points to stable revenue economics alongside a much more capital-intensive operating footprint.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Vista Energy Sponsored ADR Series A's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength.

Growth

100

Vista Energy Sponsored ADR Series A's revenue surged 50.2% year-over-year to $2.5B, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 100/100.

Leverage

100

Vista Energy Sponsored ADR Series A carries a low D/E ratio of 0.04, meaning only $0.04 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Vista Energy Sponsored ADR Series A's current ratio of 0.86 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 12/100. However, the company holds substantial cash reserves (52% of current liabilities), which buffers actual liquidity risk. Large mature operators often run tight current ratios by design.

Cash Flow

While Vista Energy Sponsored ADR Series A generated $796.2M in operating cash flow, capex of $1.5B consumed most of it, leaving -$659.2M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Vista Energy Sponsored ADR Series A earns a strong 28.6% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $29 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 77/100. This is down from 29.4% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

3/9

Vista Energy Sponsored ADR Series A passes 3 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.11x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Vista Energy Sponsored ADR Series A generates $1.11 in operating cash flow ($796.2M OCF vs $719.1M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
