Robinhood shares gain on Q2 beat, as user and crypto growth accelerate
HOUSTON - Flowco Holdings Inc. (NYSE: FLOC), a $1.61 billion market cap company currently trading above its InvestingPro Fair Value, announced Thursday that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $50 million of the company’s Class A common stock.
The program does not obligate Flowco to repurchase any specific amount of shares and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time, according to the company’s press release statement. The timing and volume of purchases will depend on various factors including price, trading volume, market conditions, and regulatory requirements. The announcement comes as the stock has declined nearly 40% year-to-date, according to InvestingPro data.
Joe Bob Edwards, President and CEO of Flowco, said the authorization reflects confidence in the company’s long-term value and business model. "With strong free cash flow and a healthy balance sheet, we believe we have the flexibility to repurchase shares opportunistically without compromising our ability to invest in growth or sustain our dividend," Edwards stated. The company’s financial strength is evident in its 3.45x current ratio and moderate debt levels, with earnings of $2.69 per share over the last twelve months.
Flowco, which provides production optimization, artificial lift and methane abatement solutions for the oil and natural gas industry, said purchases may be made through open-market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.
The company noted that the repurchase program is supported by its financial position, though specific timelines for implementation were not disclosed.
In other recent news, Flowco Holdings Inc. reported its Q4 2024 earnings with an earnings per share (EPS) of $2.23 and revenue of $186 million, marking a slight 1.8% decline in revenue compared to the previous quarter. Despite this, the company continues to innovate, launching its first electric multi-well high-pressure gas lift unit. Piper Sandler recently adjusted Flowco’s stock price target to $33, down from $34, while maintaining an Overweight rating due to missed earnings expectations and a revised 2025 EBITDA guidance. Evercore ISI also reduced its price target to $32 from $35 but retained an Outperform rating, noting Flowco’s robust business model and domestic supply chain as advantages in the current market. Additionally, Flowco announced the impending resignation of COO John Gatlin, effective August 1, 2025, as disclosed in an SEC filing. The company has not yet shared plans for Gatlin’s successor. Despite these developments, analysts from Piper Sandler and Evercore ISI remain optimistic about Flowco’s growth potential, highlighting its innovative technology pipeline and strategic positioning in the oilfield services sector.
