Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is fair. You pay 16.5× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 4/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
