Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Ranger Energy's business benefits from oil prices above $60 per barrel.
Customers are prioritizing production activities, aligning with Ranger's service strengths.
RNGR trades at a 3.19X EV/EBITDA, below the industry's 7.10X average, after a 10.9% stock gain.
Per Oilprice.com data, the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude is currently trading at more than $60 per barrel mark. Since Ranger Energy Services Inc.’s (RNGR - Free Report) overall business is positively correlated to oil prices, let’s analyze whether the current crude pricing environment is favorable for the company.
The cost of production of oil and gas in the prolific shale plays is significantly lower, thanks to the low breakeven costs of major upstream players. Thus, the current crude pricing environment is still favorable for exploration and production operations in the United States. This, in turn, will raise demand for Ranger Energy’s service offerings, which are primarily specialized in maintaining wells.
According to Ranger Energy, customers are prioritizing spending heavily on production-related activities, rather than exploration and drilling operations. RNGR, with its highly advanced, well-serviced rigs, offering services primarily associated with well maintenance and production optimization, is well-positioned to capitalize on the current trend.
HAL & SLB to Also Gain From Favorable Business
Halliburton Company (HAL - Free Report) and SLB (SLB - Free Report) , leading oilfield service providers in the same industry, are also in a strong position to gain as upstream business operations are currently favorable.

Shares of RNGR have gained 9.5% over the past year against the 4.4% decline of the industry.
