XCF Global (SAFX) closed FY 2025 with Q4 revenue of US$4.7 million and a basic EPS loss of US$0.09, alongside trailing twelve month EPS of US$0.52 on revenue of US$20.8 million that reflects the move into profitability over the past year. Over recent quarters the company has seen revenue shift from US$0 in Q1 2025 to US$6.6 million in Q2, US$9.6 million in Q3, then US$4.7 million in Q4. Quarterly EPS moved from a loss of US$0.05 in Q1 to a gain of US$0.83 in Q2 before returning to losses in Q3 and Q4. This sets up a complex margin picture that investors may interpret as a trade off between improving full year profitability and uneven quarterly earnings quality.

TTM profit of US$74.0 million built on uneven quarterly swings

  • Across FY 2025, net income moved from a loss of US$7.5 million in Q1 to a profit of US$110.3 million in Q2, then back to losses of US$12.5 million in Q3 and US$16.3 million in Q4, while the trailing twelve months to Q4 show net income of US$74.0 million.
  • Bears argue that heavy use of non cash earnings and these sharp swings limit how much comfort investors can take from the TTM profit, as Q2 alone accounts for US$110.3 million of net income while the other three quarters together report losses. This lines up with the flagged risk that reported profit quality is a concern.

TTM EPS of US$0.52 contrasts with recent quarterly losses

  • Trailing twelve month basic EPS at Q4 2025 is US$0.52, yet the last two quarters each show basic EPS losses of about US$0.08 to US$0.09 after a single Q2 spike to EPS of US$0.83.
  • What stands out for a bearish view is that the stock screens as profitable on a TTM basis at US$0.52 EPS, but the recent pattern is three loss making quarters out of four and forecasts point to a 50.6% annualized decline in earnings over the next 3 years, so the headline profit sits alongside projections that expect meaningfully weaker earnings ahead.
On this mix of backward looking profit and forward looking earnings decline, skeptics often ask whether the current profit level is repeatable before taking comfort in the numbers, and that question is front and center for anyone comparing XCF Global’s TTM figures with its recent quarterly pattern. 🐻 XCF Global Bear Case

Low 1.3x P/E against forecast 75.5% revenue growth

  • The trailing P/E of 1.3x based on the current share price of US$0.35 and TTM EPS of US$0.52 sits well below the 22.9x peer average and the 16.3x US Oil & Gas industry, even as revenue is forecast to grow at 75.5% per year over the forecast horizon provided.
  • Supporters of a more bullish angle point to this combination of a low P/E and strong revenue growth forecasts, yet the same dataset flags that earnings are expected to decline by 50.6% per year, debt is not well covered by operating cash flow, and shareholders have already faced substantial dilution, so the valuation gap is tied to both the growth outlook and the balance sheet risks rather than just being a simple bargain.
