Upturn Advisory & Investor View for OIS

11/09/2026: OIS (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Oil States International is an energy services company specializing in offshore infrastructure and completion technologies. While the company holds a solid technical position in these complex niches, its financial performance remains highly sensitive to global oil price cycles and capital expenditure trends. Its primary growth opportunity lies in the recovery of deepwater projects and the deployment of new automated well-site technologies. Investors should monitor commodity price volatility, project approvals, and competitive pricing pressures. As a stock without dividend income and with inherent cyclical risk, it may suit investors who have a higher tolerance for volatility and a specific thesis regarding offshore energy sector recovery.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
OIS receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
OIS has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 11.1%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-871.5%), slightly negative revenue growth (-3.4%), weak profitability (net margin -16.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
OIS's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 25.9%). Profitability is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is OIS's strongest growth driver at +781.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-3.4%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (-871.5%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 90.1% and approximately 91.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 8.01% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
OIS generates approximately $128 of gross profit, $-7 of operating income, and $111 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -6.68% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
OIS has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
