Moving up, and good sector news14 May 2021 12:34
Good to see the price ticking up, and on very healthy volumes yesterday plus almost 300,000 shares traded already today.
Very strong numbers from Geodrill a couple of days ago for their calendar Q1. Their shares were up 16% on the day - hopefully a similar 16% up day coming here too at some point. Here's what Geodrill said:
"Today, I'm pleased to report Q1 was an exceptional quarter. In fact, it was our strongest ever in the history of this company. As reported earlier today, we generated record quarterly annual -- quarterly revenues of $30.7 million, which is a 70% year-over-year increase. We recorded EBITDA of USD 10 million or 33% of revenue, which is a 350% year-over-year increase. We realized strong profitability, significantly increasing net earnings to USD 5.7 million. We generated a return on capital employed at 22% and a return on equity of 17%. We also increased rig utilization to 75%, up from 50% a year ago."
Outlook:
? Significant financing in recent history continues to drive future demand; drilling
services in West Africa has increased significantly in 2021;
? Rig fleet, currently 68 rigs with additional rigs in manufacturing and on order to meet
growing demand; and
? Extremely active tendering market, with particularly strong demand in exploration
drilling."
