On the stock market since 2011, it operates in the world of energy. It has 449 employees. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
An average decline of 21% a year over the last 4 years — the most striking risk in this picture. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. This is the most critical line in the whole picture.

The stock has been running stronger than the market lately.
Financial Strength: The cash-and-debt balance is thin; the buffer for hard times is slim.
Valuation: The stock trades at a price that looks expensive next to its earnings; that can cap future returns.
The stock trades below its recent peak — about 15% off the top. A pullback, not a collapse.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 11 buys and 0 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
It pays out $0.89 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $180.2M against $3.2B in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts less than a year. After that, the company needs to find new money.
The stock trades 87% above the average analyst price target.
On our five-subject report card, NGL sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
