What it does

Plain-English summary of the business — what they sell and how they make money.

CVR Energy, Inc., a diversified company, operates through its subsidiaries primarily focusing on petroleum refining and the production of nitrogen fertilizers within the United States. Its business is organized into two distinct divisions: Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer. The Petroleum segment is responsible for processing crude oil into marketable products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and various other refined fuels, which it then distributes. This division manages and operates a sophisticated coking refinery in southeast Kansas, designed to handle medium-sour crude, alongside another crude oil processing facility located in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. Crucial logistical infrastructure also supports these operations. The primary clientele for this segment includes retail outlets, railway companies, agricultural cooperatives, and other refiners or marketers. The Nitrogen Fertilizer division encompasses a North American production facility that utilizes a pet coke gasification process to convert pet coke into nitrogen-based fertilizers. Furthermore, it operates a facility in East Dubuque, Illinois, which specializes in manufacturing nitrogen fertilizers in the form of both ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN). UAN products are predominantly supplied to the agricultural sector, while ammonia finds application in both farming and diverse industrial settings. Established in 1906, the firm's corporate headquarters are situated in Sugar Land, Texas. CVR Energy, Inc. ultimately functions as a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
63.2How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
3.4%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
1.6%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
7.9%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
0.5Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
10.5%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
3.4%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
3.4Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
