# Precision Drilling Corporation (PDS) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Price $89.92, market value $1.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Precision Drilling Corporation reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.8×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.0×**. The shares trade at 1.0× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.6×**. Enterprise value is 9.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.4%** (5-yr avg 20.3%). Free cash flow equals 7.4% of the market value, below its five-year average of 20.3%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 82.5%**. Precision Drilling Corporation keeps 82.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: 3.3%**. 3.3% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 0.1%**. 0.1% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 0.1%**. 0.1% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 1.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 1.4%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -1.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces -1.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -3.1%** (3-yr 4.5%/yr, 5-yr 14.5%/yr). Revenue fell 3.1% over the last year, against 14.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -98.2%**. Earnings per share fell 98.2%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 41.4%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 41.4% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.43**. Debt is 0.43 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 2.6×**. It would take 2.6 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 1.3×**. Operating profit covers interest only 1.3×: fragile.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Precision Drilling Corporation does not currently pay a dividend, but it returned 2.9% of its market value through buybacks over the last year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 54.3%** (YTD 25.1%, 3-mo -3.3%). The shares are up 54.3% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -13.4%** (68.3% above the low). Trading 13% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 56**. An RSI of 56 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.28** (volatility 38%). Beta of 0.28 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
