NVEE
NV5 Global, Inc. (NVEE) Management Analysis (2026)
Overall Score
Execution Operating Discipline
Management is delivering modest profitability with TTM net margin of 2.5% and operating margin of 2.0%, but returns remain low with ROIC at 0.7% and ROE at 1.4%.
Working capital remains adequate with a current ratio of 1.95, though the cash conversion cycle is still long at 123 days due to elevated receivables days of 246.
Capital Allocation Balance Sheet
Leverage is manageable with debt-to-equity of 0.27 and net debt to EBITDA of 3.47, but interest coverage is only 1.37x, leaving limited cushion.
Free cash flow generation is positive at a 2.3% yield, yet valuation remains demanding at 44.0x price-to-free-cash-flow.
Incentives Governance Shareholder Alignment
No dividend is being paid, so management appears to be prioritizing reinvestment and balance-sheet flexibility over direct capital returns.
The company’s book value per share of 13.8 versus tangible book value per share of 1.47 suggests a heavy reliance on intangible assets, which keeps governance and capital discipline important.
