Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $12,461 in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

Silver Star Energy, Inc. is a small oil and gas exploration and production company. It focuses on finding and extracting crude oil and natural gas from underground reserves. Companies like this sell their output to refiners, utilities, and industrial buyers in the energy market.

Silver Star Energy earns revenue by selling the oil and natural gas it produces, meaning its income rises and falls with commodity prices. It operates at a very small scale, with a market cap near zero, which places it in the micro-cap or shell-company category. The unusually high reported operating margin and ROIC figures may reflect limited operating history, accounting adjustments, or minimal overhead rather than a durable competitive advantage. The biggest risk this company faces is its tiny size — small exploration firms often struggle to raise capital, maintain production, and survive prolonged periods of low oil and gas prices.
