Winston Score History

The full picture

PEDEVCO Corp. is a small American oil and gas company that drills for crude oil and natural gas in the United States. Its main operations are in the San Andres formation in the Permian Basin of West Texas, one of the most productive oil-producing regions in the country. The company sells the oil and gas it produces to energy buyers and refiners.

PEDEVCO makes money by extracting and selling crude oil and natural gas, so its revenue rises and falls with commodity prices. It operates entirely within the US and, with a market cap of roughly $200 million, is considered a micro-cap exploration and production company with limited scale compared to larger Permian Basin peers. The company's thin margins and slightly negative operating income highlight its main risk: it has little cushion when oil prices drop, and continued profitability depends heavily on keeping production costs low and commodity prices stable.

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.
