Low Financial LeverageA low debt-to-equity profile and strong equity position reduce financing risk for multi‑month drilling projects, improving the firm's ability to fund capex, bid competitively, and absorb project delays without relying on external credit, supporting long-term stability.

Improving Operating MarginsSustained improvement in gross and EBIT/EBITDA margins indicates better cost control and operational efficiency in drilling operations. Stronger margins enhance resilience to cyclical revenue swings, enabling reinvestment in rigs and skilled crews that underpin long-term service competitiveness.

Stronger Cash GenerationRising free cash flow and solid cash conversion from earnings bolster the company's ability to self‑fund working capital and targeted capex for specialized rigs. Reliable cash generation supports sustainable operations and reduces dependence on external financing over the medium term.

Bears Say

Inconsistent Revenue TrendA steep year‑on‑year revenue decline signals volatile project award timing or lower rig utilization. Persistent revenue variability undermines backlog visibility, complicates resource planning and utilization economics for drilling projects, and can depress returns over multiple quarters.

Low Net Profit MarginDespite margin improvement, a still‑low net profit margin limits the company's ability to convert operational gains into shareholder returns. This constrains retained earnings for reinvestment, leaves less buffer for cost overruns on complex geothermal projects, and slows long‑term value creation.

Inconsistent Free Cash Flow Vs. ProfitsVariability between reported profits and free cash flow raises questions about earnings quality and timing of receipts or capex spending. For project‑based drilling, inconsistent FCF complicates capital allocation and could necessitate external funding during peak investment cycles, raising execution risk.
