Analysis as of
Is Select Water Solutions Inc stock worth reviewing? The TradeMates thesis
Select Water Solutions is successfully transitioning to a high-margin infrastructure model, evidenced by a 30% EPS beat in Q2 2026. However, with a TTM P/E of 76x and negative FCF yield, the market has priced in much of the 2027-2028 growth. The model suggests waiting for a retracement to support levels before entry.
