Winston Score History

The full picture

Ranger Energy Services helps oil and gas companies get oil and natural gas out of the ground and keep their wells running. The company provides services like well completion, wireline work, and well maintenance — mainly to oil producers operating in major U.S. shale basins like the Permian Basin and Rockies. It is a smaller, independent oilfield services company competing in a fragmented market alongside larger players like Halliburton and SLB.

Ranger makes money by charging oil producers fees for labor, equipment, and specialized services on a job-by-job or contract basis. The company operates entirely within the United States, with a market cap of roughly $400 million and thin margins that leave little room for error. Its low gross margin of about 8% reflects how competitive and cost-driven this industry is, and the biggest risk Ranger faces is that a drop in oil prices causes producers to cut spending quickly, which directly reduces demand for its services.

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.
