What stands out

Margins and capital returns are both well above average: 23.21% operating margin, ROIC at 16.11%. Consistent with durable pricing power, though that alone doesn't make it a buy.

What's changing

Revenue declined 4.5% YoY. Margins deteriorated 2.4pp alongside, both lines moving the wrong way.

What deserves caution

At 52x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration. ROIC dropped from 22.11% to 16.11%, capital efficiency is deteriorating.

Valuation context

52.5x earnings. The market is pricing in years of above-average growth. If that thesis breaks, downside from multiple compression alone could be 30%+. This is a stock where you're paying for the future, not the present.

Frequently asked

Is Cactus a high-quality business?+

Cactus scores 47 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 6 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a mixed business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 18.6% operating margin and a 15.4% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from SEC filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.

Does Cactus (WHD) pay a dividend, and how much?+

Yes, Cactus pays a regular dividend of about $0.56 per share per year (typically in quarterly installments), a yield of roughly 0.9% at the current price. That is a payout ratio of about 24.0% of earnings, so the dividend is amply covered by earnings. Cactus has grown the dividend at roughly 15.3% a year over the past few years. A low headline yield is not the same as a weak dividend: what matters is how well earnings and free cash flow cover the payout and whether it is growing, not the percentage alone. For WHD's full payout history, growth streak and dividend-safety score, see the dividends tab.

Is Cactus a good stock to buy right now?+

That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. you should weigh WHD's valuation and scores 47/100 on quality (mixed). It also yields about 0.9%. A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
