Per the Roarable RQD rating, WTTR scores 47 out of 100 with a letter grade of D, labeled "Roarable Sell — Underperform / Distribution Warning." The five pillars are:
Taken together, the investor implication is that the balance sheet offers some downside cushion, but the business is not currently converting capital into strong cash returns, and insider and cash-flow signals are weak. Valuation is elevated on trailing and forward earnings (P/E 130 TTM, forward P/E 120.9), so the upside case depends on earnings recovering substantially. This is an educational reading of the rating, not personalized advice.
| Period | Revenue | Operating Income | Net Income | EPS | FCF | Cash | Debt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY 2025 | $1407.3M | $28.8M | $21.2M | N/A | $-79.9M | $18.1M | $285.0M |
| FY 2024 | $1452.1M | $54.5M | $30.6M | N/A | $61.7M | $20.0M | $85.0M |
| FY 2023 | $1585.4M | $61.2M | $74.4M | N/A | $285.4M | N/A | N/A |
Per the SEC financials, revenue declined from $1585.4M (FY 2023) to $1452.1M (FY 2024) and to $1407.3M (FY 2025), while net income fell from $74.4M to $30.6M to $21.2M.

Welcome to the WTTR (Select Water Solutions Inc. (Class A)) Roar Pit. Current RQD Composite is 47/100 (Roarable Sell — Underperform / Distribution Warning) in Oilfield Services/Equipment. Bulls point to operating leverage and sector positioning, while bears focus on valuation multiple compression (130.0x trailing P/E). Pick your side (🐂 Bull or 🐻 Bear) and drop your price target below.
Everyone in here is repeating the bull case on WTTR, but look at what you are paying: 130.0x trailing P/E with 14.4% gross margins. Unless Select Water Solutions Inc. (Class A) expands free cash flow yield next quarter, I would rather wait for a pullback closer to the 200-day moving average before touching this.
Looking at the 5-pillar RQD breakdown on WTTR, the market is fixating on short-term headline noise in Oilfield Services/Equipment and ignoring the balance sheet and cash flow trajectory. At $19.93 (52-wk range $9.28 - $22.55), any beat on forward guidance forces shorts and underweight funds to chase.
