An update from Cathedral Energy Services ( (TSE:ACX) ) is now available.

ACT Energy Technologies has acquired all assets of Texas-based Stryker Energy Directional Services for approximately US$24.2 million, in a cash, debt and equity deal designed to expand its directional drilling footprint across the Southern United States. Stryker, which averaged about 17 active jobs per day in 2025 and brings a fleet of 10 rotary steerable system tools and an experienced management team that will continue to lead the business, materially increases ACT’s U.S. job count and strengthens its technology portfolio. ACT expects to replace Stryker’s third‑party rented mud motors with its own inventory, targeting more than C$5 million in annual synergies, a payback period of under two and a half years, and accretion to net income, adjusted EBITDAS and free cash flow, while preserving financial flexibility through a balanced funding structure that also aligns Stryker’s leadership with ACT shareholders via equity and staged resale restrictions.

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 TSE:ACX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE: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.
