The case for and against

Updated Oct 23, 2025

Bull case

MRC Global Inc. has demonstrated significant growth in its U.S. chemicals backlog, which increased by 32% year-over-year and 8% sequentially to reach $603 million in the first quarter of 2025, indicating robust demand across all sectors. Additionally, the company's international revenue rose 10% year-over-year, and 12.2% organically, reaching $121 million in the first quarter of 2025, suggesting strong performance in global markets. This combined growth in both backlog and revenue provides a solid foundation for a positive outlook on MRC Global's financial performance moving forward.

Bear case

MRC Global experienced a significant decline in sales across its key sectors in the first quarter of 2025, with the Downstream, Industrial & Energy Transition (DIET) sector reporting an 18% drop year-over-year, totaling $220 million, and the Production & Transmission Infrastructure (PTI) sector declining 11%, amounting to $219 million. The company's overall performance reflects a concerning decrease in adjusted operating income, which fell to $7.0 million, representing only 1.2% of sales, compared to $34.0 million, or 5.1% of sales, in the same period last year. Such trends indicate weakening demand and profitability challenges, underscoring a negative outlook for MRC Global's financial stability and growth prospects.
