公司概述
Ecopetrol S.A. operates as an integrated energy company, managing its operations across four distinct segments: Exploration and Production; Transport and Logistics; Refining and Petrochemicals; and Electric Power Transmission and Toll Roads Concessions. The Exploration and Production segment specifically engages in the exploration activities necessary to secure hydrocarbon resources, forming the core of its upstream operations. This entity functions within the Energy sector, specifically classified under the Oil & Gas Integrated industry, which implies a comprehensive approach covering the entire value chain from extraction to distribution and power generation. The company holds a market capitalization of $29.84B, while its annual revenue and employee count are not disclosed in the available financial data. These valuation metrics indicate that Ecopetrol S.A. maintains a substantial presence in the global energy landscape, reflecting its significant asset base and operational footprint despite the lack of publicly reported headcount figures.
财务健康
The company reports N/A for both revenue and net income figures for the trailing twelve months, while its EBITDA is recorded at an exceptionally high figure of $43.22T. Although the specific gap between revenue and net income cannot be quantified due to missing revenue data, the profit margin of 7.5% suggests a moderate ability to convert revenue into net earnings relative to the gross margin of 32.8%. The operating margin stands at 0.0%, which indicates that operating expenses fully consumed operating income in this reporting period, potentially signaling high operational costs or specific accounting adjustments affecting the bottom line. Ecopetrol S.A. generates a free cash flow of $7.90T, a metric that signifies robust cash generation capacity available for capital expenditures, debt repayment, or shareholder returns. In terms of liquidity and leverage, the company reports N/A for total cash and total debt, yet the debt-to-equity ratio is listed at 99.96, suggesting a highly leveraged balance sheet structure relative to shareholder equity. The current ratio is 1.55, indicating that the company possesses sufficient current assets to cover its short-term liabilities with a comfortable buffer. Return on equity is calculated at 11.8%, while return on assets is 5.7%, revealing that the company generates higher returns on shareholders' invested capital compared to its total asset base.
估值评估
The trailing twelve-month price-to-earnings ratio is 11.69, while the forward price-to-earnings ratio is 10.46, implying that the market expects earnings growth that would allow the stock to trade at a lower multiple in the future. The price-to-book ratio is reported as 0.01, indicating that the market values the company's equity at a fraction of its book value, which often occurs when asset-heavy industries face depressed commodity prices or write-downs. Alternative valuation metrics such as price-to-sales ratio and EV/EBITDA are unavailable (N/A) for this reporting period, limiting the ability to compare the stock against peers using these standard measures. Over the past year, the stock price has ranged between a 52-week low of $7.80 and a 52-week high of $15.62, providing a clear band within which the current trading price fluctuates. The beta value is recorded as 0.02, which suggests that the stock's price volatility is virtually uncorrelated with the broader market movements, exhibiting stability that is rare for energy sector equities.
Growth & Income
Revenue growth year-over-year is negative at -17.2%, while earnings growth year-over-year is significantly worse at -60.8%, indicating that earnings are declining at a much faster rate than revenue, likely due to margin compression or one-time charges. The company pays a dividend yield of 4.8% with a payout ratio of 95.6%, a situation where the dividend payout is nearly equal to the reported profit margin, raising questions about sustainability given the negative earnings growth. Since the earnings growth is negative, the payout ratio of 95.6% appears aggressive relative to the current earnings per share, as paying out 95.6% of earnings when earnings are shrinking poses a risk to future dividend coverage. The overall growth and income profile presents a trade-off between a high current dividend yield and significant declines in both revenue and profitability over the trailing twelve months.
