$104M-revenue midstream shell bleeding $110M with $265K cash, a 0.13x current ratio, and CEO-related-party revenue — uninvestable.

Cash & equivalents $265K · FY2025

Vivakor grew revenue to $104M (+16.3%) and swung gross profit to +$37.7M, but that is the only positive line in the file. FY2025 produced a -$110M net loss (net margin -105.6%), a -$63.8M operating loss, -$15.8M of operating cash flow, and a -266.8% return on equity. The loss dwarfs revenue and the +$37.7M of gross profit, implying large impairment/below-the-line charges tied to the October 2024 Endeavor acquisition that management now says it is 'reviewing' and may seek 'strategic alternatives' for — i.e., the acquisition that built the revenue base is being questioned barely a year later.

The balance sheet is the disqualifier. Current assets are $8.22M against $61.5M of current liabilities — a 0.13x current ratio — with only $265K of cash on hand (down 59.3%). Retained earnings sit at -$204M and equity fell 65.4% to $41.3M against $76.3M of liabilities (1.85x). A company burning cash operationally with a quarter-million dollars in the bank and a ~$53M working-capital hole is a liquidity crisis that can only be plugged by more debt or dilution; shares already collapsed 95.4% (the -$318 diluted EPS reflects a reverse split), and the $677K market cap tells you the market treats the $41.3M of stated equity as unreliable.
