In addition to the sale of propane-butane gas, GASCO also produces chemicals and petroleum products. The organization’s work also includes the maintenance of gas networks and units. The company also participates in the creation of projects aimed at energy development and water treatment.

Financial opportunities of National Gas & Industrialization Co

To find out how profitable the stocks of a company are, you need to rely on the company’s growth indicators. An analysis of Infront Analytics indicates that National Gas & Industrialization Co has an N/A rating in 2019. This means that GASCO has slow growth compared to other gas firms.

Another significant measure is the ratio of a company’s value to its pre-tax profit. It demonstrates how an organization is undervalued or overvalued compared to others in the industry. Therefore, the well-known EV/EBITDA ratio is often used for business analysis.

The ratio of the value of the company to its profit before taxes more accurately indicates the capabilities of the company than the rate of the price of a share to benefit. This is because it takes into account not only the indicator of the net operating profit of the enterprise but also the indicator of the total value of the company. The latter includes financial debt, cash position, and minority interests, which are vital in assessing the market value of an organization.

Infront Analytics concluded that National Gas & Industrialization Co’s EV/EBITDA ratio is much lower than the average for similar companies; lower than the industry average and significantly lower than the historical five-year average of GASCO.

In reports for 2018, National Gas & Industrialization Co writes about an 8% decline in profits. In total, the profit amounted to 117.14 million riyals, but last year the benefit was higher – 127.34 million SAR. The company explains the decline in earnings with a decrease in sales of gas and cylinders and with an increase in administrative, general, and marketing expenses.

In 2018, revenue fell 4.5% to 1.9 billion riyals. Last year, it amounted to 1.99 billion riyals. Operating profit fell 34% to 99.08 million riyals, while earnings per share were 1.56 riyals.
