Cathedral Energy Services ( (TSE:ACX) ) has issued an announcement.

ACT Energy Technologies reported 2025 revenue of $474.9 million, down from 2024, but improved its adjusted gross margin to 30% by replacing third-party rentals with internally supplied MWD systems and tightening its cost structure. Net income fell to $15.6 million, pressured by lower U.S. activity, foreign exchange impacts, tax audit provisions and inventory charges, even as adjusted EBITDAS held relatively resilient at $76.3 million.

The company used strong cash generation to reduce net debt to $53.6 million and repurchase roughly 2.2 million shares, signaling confidence in its balance sheet and equity value. It also advanced an aggressive U.S. growth strategy by acquiring Stryker Energy Directional Services and agreeing to buy SB Directional Services’ drilling business, bolstering its presence in higher-value rotary steerable and complex drilling segments and positioning the firm for future U.S. expansion despite current activity softness.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:ACX) stock is a Buy with a C$6.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cathedral Energy Services stock, see the TSE:ACX Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ACX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ACX is a Outperform.

Cathedral Energy Services receives a score of 72, driven primarily by its strong valuation and positive technical indicators. Despite mixed financial performance with declining revenue and cash flow concerns, the stock’s low P/E ratio and bullish technical signals provide a favorable outlook. The absence of earnings call and corporate events data means these factors do not influence the score.
