Palm Valley Capital Management Jayme Wiggins | “With energy prices falling sharply early in the quarter, we also purchased RPC, Inc. Founded in 1984, RPC is an energy service company specializing in pressure pumping, downhole tools, coiled tubing, and cementing. Customers include major multinational and independent oil and gas producers. RPC has an extremely strong balance sheet with no debt and over $300 million in cash. While its industry is very cyclical, we believe its financial strength and modern equipment will allow it to survive and take market share during periods of declining drilling activity. While the U.S. oil rig count is down, industry production has grown through increased efficiency and processing a backlog of uncompleted wells. Yet, we may be approaching a cresting of domestic oil production without more investment in services. BSD Analysis: RPC is a high-beta, high-efficiency oilfield services specialist whose stock is poised for a major re-rating driven by technological innovation and margin expansion. The core thesis is driven by the company's better-than-expected Q3 2025 earnings, with an EPS beat and 6% sequential revenue growth. RPC's competitive moat is its focus on innovations in downhole motor technology and natural gas frac pump exploration, which position it for market share gains. The stock surged 8.09% after its earnings release, reflecting strong investor confidence in its ability to execute strategic growth and cost management despite market challenges. RPC is a leveraged bet on the non-discretionary investment in specialized technology needed for efficient well completions.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jul 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
