Navigator Holdings Ltd (NYSE:NVGS) Misses Q2 2025 Revenue and EPS Estimates, Shares Drop After Hours

Navigator Holdings Ltd (NYSE:NVGS) reported preliminary second-quarter 2025 results that fell short of analyst expectations, triggering a negative after-hours market reaction. The company, which operates a fleet of liquefied gas carriers, posted revenue of $114.42 million, missing the consensus estimate of $133.52 million. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.14, significantly below the projected $0.25.

Key Financial Metrics vs. Estimates

• Revenue: Reported $114.42M vs. estimated $133.52M (14.3% miss).
• EPS: Reported $0.14 vs. estimated $0.2544 (45% miss).
• Market Reaction: Shares declined 1.5% in after-hours trading, reflecting investor disappointment.

The underperformance in both revenue and earnings suggests weaker-than-expected demand or operational challenges in the quarter. While the stock has been relatively stable over the past month (+4.58%), the immediate post-earnings drop indicates concerns about near-term profitability.

Press Release Highlights

The company emphasized non-GAAP metrics, including:

• Adjusted EBITDA (excluding vessel sale gains/losses, derivative impacts, and foreign exchange effects).
• Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Basic EPS, which strip out one-time items.

Management defended these adjustments as providing a clearer picture of operational performance, though the core GAAP figures still fell short of expectations.

Forward-Looking Estimates

Analysts currently project:

• Q3 2025 Revenue: $138.6M
• Full-Year 2025 Revenue: $585.29M
• Q3 2025 EPS Estimate: $0.399

The lack of an explicit outlook in the press release leaves uncertainty around whether Navigator can meet these forecasts. Given the Q2 miss, investors may remain cautious until clearer signs of recovery emerge.
