AI Analysis

AI-powered fundamental assessment

Confidence
95%
FutureFuel Corp. exhibits severe fundamental distress, highlighted by a critical Piotroski F-Score of 1/9, indicating extremely poor financial health. The company is experiencing a catastrophic collapse in revenue (-67.7% YoY) and is operating with negative gross margins (-41.18%), meaning it loses money on every unit sold before operating expenses. While a high current ratio (5.67) provides a temporary liquidity cushion, the combination of crashing sales and negative profitability makes the current dividend unsustainable. The technical trend is completely bearish (0/100), suggesting no immediate market confidence.

Key Strengths

Strong short-term liquidity with a Current Ratio of 5.67
Healthy Quick Ratio of 3.58 indicating ability to cover immediate liabilities
Trading near book value (P/B 1.17)
Consistent history of beating earnings estimates in the most recent 4 quarters
Diversified product segments (Custom and Performance chemicals)

Key Risks

Catastrophic revenue decline of -67.7% YoY
Negative Gross Margins (-41.18%) indicating a fundamental failure in pricing or cost control
Extremely low Piotroski F-Score (1/9) signaling high risk of financial deterioration
Unsustainable dividend payout given the negative profit margins and ROE
Severe operational inefficiency with an operating margin of -62.94%
