Winston is worried

Weak fundamentals across most pillars.

Share count rising — dilution

+10.4% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 41.1M (2021) → 45.4M (2025)

Chart Industries makes specialized equipment used to handle very cold gases — things like liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, and industrial gases. Its products include storage tanks, heat exchangers, and processing systems, and its customers include energy companies, industrial gas producers, and clean energy developers. The company is one of the largest independent makers of cryogenic equipment in the world.

Chart earns money by selling this equipment and providing aftermarket services like repairs and spare parts. It operates globally, with a significant presence in North America, Europe, and Asia, and generated roughly $4 billion in annual revenue following its large acquisition of Howden in 2023. That deal expanded Chart's reach into fans, compressors, and heating systems, but also added substantial debt to the balance sheet — managing that debt load is the company's most immediate financial challenge as it works to grow its clean energy and LNG-related business.

Cash watch

Chart Industries has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
