Smart Sand stock (ISIN US83191H1077) was trading at USD 5.41 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026, up 1.31 percent, with a market capitalization of USD 232.6 million. MarketBeat reported on October 2 that management sees LNG exports and data-center power demand supporting future frac-sand volumes.

Natural gas supports volume growth

Smart Sand sold 5.4 million tons in the prior year and was on pace to exceed 6 million tons through the first half of 2026, according to MarketBeat. The company operates 10 million tons of annual capacity across facilities in Wisconsin and Illinois, leaving room to increase output without major capital spending.

The same management presentation identified natural gas markets as 60 percent to 70 percent of frac-sand volumes. It also pointed to LNG capacity growth and data-center electricity demand as drivers that could require additional drilling and well completions.

Second-quarter revenue reaches USD 115.05 million
