Provides equipment and services for drilling oil, geothermal, and natural gas wells. Offers evaluation services to assess well potential and characteristics. Now — the numbers.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
This is an established company with proven profits.
Average growth of 8% a year over the last 4 years. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
The market pays 14.8× for every dollar of annual profit — around what a business like this usually costs.
Against companies in its own sector, it looks cheaper than 63% of them.
Analysts' average target sits 52% above today's price.
Executive selling isn’t always bad news; people sell for personal reasons too. Still, the thin buying side is worth noting.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit power and business quality lead the class.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.
The price isn’t cheap next to earnings — that’s why this grade sits in the middle.
There is growth, but not at top-of-the-class tempo.
Clearly below the class average.
Price Momentum: The stock has lagged the market in recent months; investor interest is weak right now.
The stock trades 34% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
It pays out $1.08 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 35/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.
On our five-subject report card, WFRD sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”
The takeaway: WFRD is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate isn’t the quality of the business — it’s what that quality should cost.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
