Today’s post:

  • Shares down 83% from 2016 IPO

  • Came public as pure-play oilfield services business

  • Recent asset sales and segment divestitures left the business with a huge pile of cash, zero debt, and other assets

  • Management went with a recent divestiture which leaves the company without a management team or plan for deploying capital (shares drifting as a result)
