The operating margin (profit before interest and taxes) is 35.4%. At a P/E ratio of 19.1, you currently pay 19.1 dollars for every dollar of the company's annual earnings.

Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector. Can Archrock service its debt? Can service its debt, but it weighs on the company — the interest coverage ratio (how many times earnings can cover interest payments) is 1.5x, and net debt equals 2.8 years of earnings (EBITDA).
