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

This company holds roughly $840,259 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

Vivakor is a small energy company that collects, transports, and processes crude oil and other petroleum products. It mainly serves oil producers in the midcontinent United States, helping them move and refine their product. The company also has technology for cleaning up oil-contaminated soil, which sets it apart from a pure pipeline or trucking business.

Vivakor makes money by charging fees to transport crude oil by truck and by processing petroleum at its facilities. It operates primarily in Oklahoma, Kansas, and nearby states, and remains a very small company with a market cap under $100 million. The operating losses and negative returns on capital show the business is not yet profitable, and the biggest risk is that thin margins in oil transportation leave little room for error if fuel costs rise or oil volumes fall.

Cash watch

Vivakor has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

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.
