Is Flotek Industries, Inc. (NYSE:FTK) a buy in 2026?
Hold. Flotek Industries, Inc. is a wait-and-watch at today's price, not a fresh buy.
Real business transformation from frac chemicals to real-time gas measurement, but the stock already sits at the top of the analyst range with 16.5% short interest fighting the story.
Where FTK is headed
The interesting Flotek isn't the legacy chemistry business that got left for dead after the 2015 oil crash. It's the JP3 measurement unit inside Data Analytics, the piece that puts optical spectroscopy sensors on flare stacks, gas processing trains, and increasingly at the fenceline of data centers running behind-the-meter natural gas turbines. That last customer segment barely existed 24 months ago. It now drives the incremental growth story, and it's why revenue is compounding 26% while margins are actually expanding rather than getting crushed by frac cyclicality.
