Description: DNOW Now November 12, 2025
DNOW Inc. (NYSE: DNOW) is a global distributor of downstream energy and industrial products, serving petroleum refining, chemical processing, LNG terminals, power generation, and gas utilities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. The firm traces its roots to 1862 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas; it rebranded from NOW Inc. to DNOW in January 2024.
The company’s catalog spans pipes, manual and automated valves, fittings, flanges, gaskets, fasteners, electrical and instrumentation gear, pumping solutions, modular process and control equipment, consumable MRO supplies, safety gear, artificial-lift systems, and specialty coatings. It also markets OEM equipment such as pumps, generator sets, air compressors, dryers, blowers, mixers, and valves, plus turnkey well-site facility modules and after-sales optimization services.
DNOW’s customer base covers the full energy value chain-upstream drilling contractors, well-servicing firms, independent and national oil & gas producers, midstream operators, refineries, petrochemical and chemical manufacturers, utilities, renewable natural-gas (RNG) facilities, and broader industrial manufacturers.
Key operational metrics (FY 2023) show revenue of roughly $3.2 billion with an EBITDA margin near 5.8 %, and an inventory turnover of 5.2 ×, reflecting efficient supply-chain management. The 2022 acquisition of Valero’s distribution assets added ~$1.5 billion of annual sales, while Q3 2024 order backlog rose 12 % YoY, underscoring demand resilience amid volatile oil prices. A primary sector driver is the ongoing shift toward higher-margin specialty chemicals and RNG projects, which tend to increase spend on valves, instrumentation, and modular automation-areas where DNOW has a strong market position.
