Frequently asked

Is Blue Dolphin Energy (BDCO) a high-quality business?+

Blue Dolphin Energy scores 74 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which rates it a solid business on these measures. Recent figures include a 10.5% operating margin and a 61.5% return on invested capital.

The metric-by-metric breakdown is on this scorecard.

What does Blue Dolphin Energy's quality score measure?+

Intrinsiqq's quality score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, change in share count, and balance-sheet strength, each computed from BDCO's SEC filings rather than opinion or sentiment. A higher score means a more durable, capital-efficient business; it is not a buy or sell signal. Open each metric on this page to see exactly where Blue Dolphin Energy scores well and where it falls behind.

What is Blue Dolphin Energy's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+

Blue Dolphin Energy earns about 61.5% on its invested capital, which is exceptional. ROIC measures how much profit a company generates per dollar put to work; sustained ROIC above its cost of capital is one of the clearest signs of a real competitive moat. Compare it to BDCO's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

How profitable is Blue Dolphin Energy?+

Blue Dolphin Energy runs an operating margin of about 10.5% and a net margin of about 7.2%. Revenue has grown at roughly 9.8% a year recently. High, stable margins usually point to pricing power and operating discipline. Margins are most telling next to growth and returns on capital, all of which feed this quality score. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
