Ensign Resource Service Group (ESI-T) has received mixed reviews from experts regarding its current valuation and performance. While it has rallied 30%, some experts believe it remains undervalued given its pre-pandemic market cap of $400 million, despite having paid down significant debt of $500 million. There are concerns about its remaining $600 million debt, with suggestions that paying this off could further enhance its stock value. Moreover, reinstating dividends could attract more investors and reflect positively on its financial health. Overall, while there are indicators of optimism for ESI-T, the prevailing caution focuses on its debt levels and the need for continued financial improvement.
It is in the energy services business.There has been a big drop in the rig count in the U.S. However the number of uncompleted holes is at a ten year low so new drilling will be needed. Also the price of natural gas is recovering. It is generating $200 million in free cash flow this year and the market cap is $400 million.

He first bought it at 50 cents and it has had a bumpy ride through the years. It is now trading at an attractive yield with a $400 million value and $200 million in free cash flow this year. This gives it a very good 2 X free cash flow multiple. It will likely be using this cash to pay down debt.
Teal LindeIt recently reported its best best first quarter since 2014 and is on track for its first positive year since then, even though it acquired a lot more debt. At $2 per share the market is valuing it at 400 million. It expects to have 200 million in free cash flow this year so it would be trading at 2X free cash flow. With this money it could buy back half its shares in one year or pay a very large dividend of perhaps $0.50 per share. However the company is planning to pay back debt which is good since it will increase the equity value. Buy 5 Hold 4 Sell 0
