Understanding GF Value

The GF Value is a unique metric that represents the current intrinsic value of a stock. It is calculated based on historical multiples, a GuruFocus adjustment factor based on the company's past performance and growth, and future business performance estimates. The GF Value Line on our summary page provides an overview of the stock's fair value. If the stock price significantly surpasses the GF Value Line, the stock is considered overvalued, and its future return is likely to be poor. Conversely, if the stock price is significantly below the GF Value Line, the stock may be undervalued, suggesting higher future returns.

Borr Drilling's Valuation

The stock of Borr Drilling gives every indication of being significantly overvalued, according to our valuation method. Our GF Value estimates the stock's fair value based on three key factors: historical multiples, an internal adjustment based on the company's past business growth, and analyst estimates of future business performance. As the current price of Borr Drilling's stock is $7.5 per share, significantly above the GF Value Line, it appears to be overvalued. Consequently, the long-term return of Borr Drilling's stock is likely to be much lower than its future business growth.

Financial Strength

Investing in companies with poor financial strength poses a higher risk of permanent loss. A company's financial strength can be assessed by looking at its cash-to-debt ratio and interest coverage. Borr Drilling's cash-to-debt ratio of 0.05 is lower than 85.39% of 1027 companies in the Oil & Gas industry. This suggests that Borr Drilling's overall financial strength is poor, with a rating of 3 out of 10.

Profitability and Growth

Investing in profitable companies, especially those demonstrating consistent long-term profitability, poses less risk. Borr Drilling, with high operating margins of 23.39%, ranks better than 70.46% of 975 companies in the Oil & Gas industry. However, Borr Drilling's profitability rank is 4 out of 10, indicating poor profitability. Despite this, Borr Drilling's growth ranks better than 85.7% of 825 companies in the Oil & Gas industry, with an average annual revenue growth of -24.1% and a 3-year average EBITDA growth of 54.8%.

ROIC vs WACC

Comparing a company's Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) and the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is another way to assess its profitability. For the past 12 months, Borr Drilling's ROIC stands at 7.53, while its WACC is 14.44, suggesting that the company's return on invested capital is lower than its cost of capital.
