Archrock Inc. (NYSE:AROC), a key player in natural gas compression services and a vital supplier to energy giants like Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:CVX), is riding a wave of momentum as it joins the top 10% of stocks in growth rankings.

Archrock’s Growth Rises To The Top Decline In Rankings

According to the Benzinga Edge’s Stock Rankings‘ growth percentile report, Archrock’s growth score rose to 90.10 from 89.99 the previous week—a modest 0.10-point delta that catapults it into elite territory among peers.

This milestone underscores the company’s accelerating revenue and earnings expansion, a metric that blends long-term trends with recent performance to highlight sustainable business scaling.

Bullish Natural Gas Market Outlook Supports AROC’s Growth

Archrock’s ascent aligns with a bullish natural gas market outlook. The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Short-Term Energy Outlook forecasts Henry Hub prices climbing to $4.10 per million British thermal units by January 2026, driven by over 5 Bcf/d of new LNG export capacity in 2025.

As demand surges from Appalachia, Permian, and Haynesville basins, Archrock’s contract operations—boasting a 70% adjusted gross margin in the second quarter of 2025—position it to capture midstream infrastructure growth.

The firm recently sold 155 compressors to Flowco Holdings Inc. (NYSE:FLOC) for $71 million, optimizing its portfolio, and raised FY25 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $810–$850 million after strong second quarter results.
