The GAAP EPS miss vs Street consensus ($0.23 actual vs $0.34 est) is the headline risk, but the underlying business is growing (revenue +8.9% YoY, Adjusted EBITDA +14.2%). Watch the Q2 2026 print for a full quarter of Valiant contribution and whether the elevated SG&A ($36.5M vs $26.4M in Q4 2025) normalizes. The dividend increase and buyback signal board confidence, but the $162M cash outlay for Valiant and the S-3 filing overhang temper the bullish read.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Flowco Holdings reported Q1 2026 revenue of $209.5M (up 8.9% YoY) and GAAP diluted EPS of $0.23, with Adjusted EBITDA of $85.5M (+14.2% YoY). The quarter included the first month of the Valiant acquisition, a $16.5M share repurchase, and a 12.5% dividend increase, but GAAP net income fell 35.6% sequentially due to $4.8M in transaction costs and higher SG&A from the S-3 filing.
