Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Strong Free Cash FlowHunting produced substantial free cash flow in 2024 (£160.1m) despite a net loss, showing durable operational cash generation. Persistent FCF enhances liquidity and funds capex, buybacks and working capital needs, supporting financial flexibility across energy cycles.
Conservative Balance SheetLow leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.15) gives Hunting a strong cushion versus peers in a cyclical industry. Conservative financing reduces refinancing risk, preserves capacity for shareholder returns or strategic investment, and strengthens resilience through downcycles.
Product Portfolio & International WinsA Brazil contract for Organic Oil Recovery expands Hunting's subsea presence and validates specialized product capabilities. Broad product lines and international contract wins increase addressable market, deepen customer relationships, and support higher-value aftermarket revenue over time.
Bears Say
Volatile ProfitabilityEarnings swung materially year-to-year, reflecting end-market cyclicality or cost/investment swings. Such profitability volatility undermines predictability of returns and complicates capital allocation, making sustained margin improvement and ROE less certain in the medium term.
Choppy Cash Flow HistoryDespite strong 2024 FCF, historical cash flow volatility (including negative FCF in 2022) indicates inconsistent cash conversion. This raises the risk that strong cash generation may not persist, potentially constraining buybacks, dividends or investment during weaker cycles.
Exposure To Upstream CyclicalityHunting's revenues are closely tied to upstream drilling and completion intensity and commodity cycles. Structural dependence on rig counts and operator capex makes revenue and margins sensitive to macro energy conditions, increasing downside risk in prolonged commodity downturns.
