The latest announcement is out from StealthGas ( (GASS) ).

On March 2, 2026, StealthGas reported unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, highlighting net income of $60.6 million and earnings per share of $1.64 for 2025, with fourth-quarter net income of $12.8 million, down 10% year-on-year amid lower revenue tied partly to the July 2025 incident that rendered the Eco Wizard inoperable. The company increased annual revenues to $173.2 million on a larger fleet and better market conditions, sharply reduced interest costs by repaying $85.9 million of debt in 2025 and $350 million since December 2022 so that all fully owned vessels are now unencumbered, strengthened liquidity to $99.1 million in cash, and continued capital returns via $1.8 million of share buybacks in 2025, moves that collectively improve balance sheet strength and earnings resilience while securing 48% of 2026 fleet days on period charters worth about $104 million in contracted revenue.

The most recent analyst rating on (GASS) stock is a Buy with a $9.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on StealthGas stock, see the GASS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GASS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GASS is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (high profitability and a near-zero leverage balance sheet) and an attractive low earnings multiple (P/E ~4.5). Technicals are supportive but capped by overbought momentum (RSI ~78.9, Stoch ~93.4), and cash-flow variability (volatile free cash flow) is a key risk factor.
