Fun facts about Archrock, Inc.

Quirks, history, and lore behind AROC — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

1
The Basics
U.S. energy company · mid-cap · listed on the NYSE · headquartered in Houston, Texas.
2
The Numbers
Generates annual revenue in the range of roughly $1 billion, serving customers across the natural gas supply chain with equipment it doesn't sell — it rents.
3
The History
The business traces its roots to Exterran Holdings, which was split into two separate public companies in 2015, with this piece keeping the domestic compression operations.
4
The Secret
The whole model is contract compression-as-a-service — operators don't buy the machinery, they pay a monthly fee so someone else owns, installs, and maintains the compressor fleet.
5
The Lore
It operates one of the largest fleets of natural gas compression equipment in the United States, keeping gas flowing from wellheads to pipelines across major producing basins.
6
The Giveaway
Its ticker spells out a word meaning a large mass of rock, and its name sounds like something solid — because keeping natural gas compressed and moving is exactly what this Houston-based company is built on.

AI Insight: AROC Financial Trends

Archrock's operating cash flow surged to $214M in Q4 2025 — nearly triple Q2 2024's $71M — even as revenue growth plateaued near $374–383M.

• Revenue grew 41% from $271M in Q2 2024 to a peak of $383M in Q2 2025, then plateaued around $374–382M through Q1 2026.

• Operating cash flow expanded sharply from $71M in Q2 2024 to $214M in Q4 2025, with Q1 2026 at $186M — a sustained step-change improvement.

• Net income more than doubled from $34M in Q2 2024 to $117M in Q4 2025, though Q1 2026 pulled back to $74M.

• Total debt jumped from $1,609M in Q2 2024 to $2,613M in Q2 2025, then eased to $2,379M in Q1 2026 — leverage remains significantly elevated.

⚠ Debt-to-equity ratio stands at roughly 1.6x in Q1 2026 versus 1.8x in Q2 2024 — debt reduction pace warrants monitoring.

⚠ Revenue has stalled near $374–383M for four consecutive quarters; any demand softening could pressure the FCF improvement thesis.

⚠ Q4 2025's $214M operating CF versus Q1 2026's $186M may reflect seasonality — confirmation of sustained cash generation needed.

AI Insight: AROC Ratio Trends

Archrock's leverage is at a multi-quarter low of 1.57x D/E while ROIC has nearly doubled from its Q3 2024 trough of 6.0% to 10.0% in Q1 2026.

• ROIC expanded from 6.0% in Q3 2024 to 10.0% in Q1 2026, nearly doubling over five quarters.

• D/E ratio declined from 1.86 in Q2 2025 to 1.57 in Q1 2026, the lowest level in the dataset.

• Operating margin jumped to 39.5% in Q4 2025 before retreating to 26.1% in Q1 2026, suggesting a one-off boost.

• TTM operating margin of 28.3% and NPM of 21.4% sit well above Q2 2024 levels of 17.5% and 12.7%, respectively.

⚠ Q4 2025 margin spike (OpMargin 39.5%, ROE 31.3%) appears non-recurring; Q1 2026 reversion warrants scrutiny of underlying drivers.

⚠ D/E ticked up to 1.86 in Q2 2025 before falling — monitor whether deleveraging trend holds amid capital spending.

⚠ ROA remains modest at 6.7% in Q1 2026 despite margin improvement, indicating asset-heavy structure limits capital efficiency gains.
