Fun facts about PURE CYCLE CORP

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

  • 1
    The Basics
    A micro-cap utility company headquartered in Colorado, listed on OTC Markets, operating in the water services sector.
  • 2
    The Numbers
    With annual revenue in the low millions, this is no sprawling utility empire — it serves a small but growing customer base in the suburban West, where land and water rights are worth more than the pipes.
  • 3
    The History
    The company has been quietly accumulating water rights and land along Colorado's Front Range for decades, betting that explosive suburban growth would eventually come to it — and it has.
  • 4
    The Secret
    Its real asset isn't meters or pipes — it's a massive portfolio of senior water rights in one of the most water-stressed regions of the American West, which appreciates as drought deepens.
  • 5
    The Lore
    The company is essentially a water bank meets land developer — it sells water service to new residential communities it also helps build, making it a uniquely vertically integrated water play in the arid Rockies.
  • 6
    The Giveaway
    Ticker spells out its mission: water utility, Colorado, cycling resources — a small company whose name literally pairs purity with cycles and whose stock is a favorite of water-scarcity investors.

AI Insight: PCYO Financial Trends

PCYO's revenue and earnings remain highly seasonal, with Q3 peaks and Q1 troughs, while debt stays minimal but operating cash flow turned negative in Q1 2026.

Revenue follows a consistent seasonal pattern: Q3 2025 peaked at $11M, while Q1 2026 troughed at $5M — mirroring the prior-year cycle.

Equity steadily expanded from $123M in Q2 2024 to $149M in Q1 2026, reflecting retained earnings accumulation over eight quarters.

Total debt held flat at $7M through Q3 2025 but ticked up to $9M in Q1 2026, keeping leverage exceptionally low relative to equity.

Operating cash flow fell to -$4M in Q1 2026, the weakest reading in the dataset — worse than Q1 2025's -$1M.

Operating income reached $0M in Q1 2026, down from $1M in Q2 2025, suggesting seasonal cost pressure is intensifying.

AI Insight: PCYO Ratio Trends

Operating margin plunged from 48.0% in Q4 2025 to 5.1% in Q1 2026, the lowest in the data set.

ROIC turned barely positive at 0.7% in Q1 2026 after recovering to 11.2% in Q4 2025.

Net profit margin declined from 50.0% in Q4 2025 to 21.4% in Q1 2026.
