Winston Score History

The full picture

EXCO Resources is an oil and natural gas company that drills for and produces natural gas, primarily in the United States. Its main product is natural gas, which it sells to utilities, industrial buyers, and energy marketers. The company focuses on onshore shale and conventional gas fields, with core operations historically concentrated in Texas, Louisiana, and Appalachia.

EXCO makes money by selling the natural gas it pulls out of the ground, so its revenue rises and falls with natural gas prices and production volumes. The company is relatively small, with a market cap around $500 million, and it has gone through financial restructuring in the past, which reflects the boom-and-bust nature of the gas business. Its main risk is heavy exposure to natural gas price swings — when prices drop, margins can collapse quickly, and the company carries debt that makes it more vulnerable than larger, diversified energy producers.

Revenue accelerating

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
