Financial Profile 45/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Patterson-Uti Energy Inc has an operating margin of 2.6%, meaning the company retains $3 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 13/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -16.5% the prior year.

Growth

Patterson-Uti Energy Inc's revenue declined 100% year-over-year, from $5.4B to $1.6M. This contraction results in a growth score of 0/100.

Leverage

Patterson-Uti Energy Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.38, meaning only $0.38 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 97/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Patterson-Uti Energy Inc's current ratio of 1.64 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 46/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

100

Patterson-Uti Energy Inc converts 23.9% of revenue into free cash flow ($372K). This strong cash generation earns a score of 100/100.

Returns

Patterson-Uti Energy Inc generates a 2.9% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 12/100.

Altman Z-Score Safe

787.16

Patterson-Uti Energy Inc scores 787.16, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($3.1B) relative to total liabilities ($2.3M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

6/9

Patterson-Uti Energy Inc passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

10.27x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Patterson-Uti Energy Inc generates $10.27 in operating cash flow ($961K OCF vs $94K net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk

0.6x

Patterson-Uti Energy Inc earns $0.6 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($41K vs $71K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
