RPC Inc. (RES) — RQD Stock Rating Cockpit

Per the Roarable RQD rating, RES scores 56 out of 100, a letter grade of D+ and a verdict of "Roarable Sell — Weak Fundamentals / Trim." The five pillars are: Fundamental Cash Engine at 12/20 (ROIC 4%; FCF yield 3.74%); Whale 13F Flow at 11/20 (institutional accumulation and options positioning); Insider Conviction at 11/20 (SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow); Macro Regime Fit at 9/20 (Beta 1.0; sector sensitivity); and Forensic Balance Sheet at 13/20 (Altman Z 2.5; Piotroski F 5/9; Debt/Equity 0.5). The weakest pillar is Macro Regime Fit, followed by the Cash Engine and the two flow pillars. The strongest pillar is the Forensic Balance Sheet, which the rating reads as moderate rather than strong. For a prospective investor, the upside case rests on the balance sheet holding up and on cash generation recovering; the valuation tradeoff is that trailing P/E of 44.1 and forward P/E of 41 sit well above the 4% ROIC and 3.74% FCF yield, so the price embeds expectations the current cash engine does not yet support. The rating is a fundamentals-weighted read on the stock today, not a recommendation.

RPC Inc. is a NYSE-listed issuer in the Energy sector, operating in Oilfield Services/Equipment. Per the profile, the company has a market capitalization of $1.4B. The source data does not describe its specific products, customers, or revenue model. Revenue figures in the financials table are reported as $0.0M for each period, so the source data does not establish how the company generates its top line.

Per the SEC financials, operating income, net income, and free cash flow declined across the three reported periods, and cash fell from $326.0M to $210.0M between FY 2024 and FY 2025. Per the market data, gross, operating, and net margins are each 0%, and ROIC is 4%. Per the Roarable RQD rating, the Altman Z-Score is 2.5, the Piotroski F-Score is 5/9, and Debt/Equity is 0.5. The source data does not provide a debt figure in the financials table, so balance sheet leverage is assessed only through the rating's Debt/Equity reading.

Per the recent news and catalysts section, six items were reported. Three are tagged RISK WATCH with a red light: a Yahoo Finance item noting the stock dropped, an FinancialContent item reporting Q3 2026 results "in line with expectations" while the stock fell 13.2%, and an Investing.com item reporting a Freedom Broker downgrade citing cash flow concerns. Three are tagged MARKET WIRE with a yellow light, from Moomoo, Simply Wall St, and TradingView, covering options positioning, stock analysis, and estimates. The downgrade and the post-earnings sell-off are the most material catalysts in the feed. Per the Butterfly Supply-Chain Graph, no supply-chain links or proprietary signals were recorded for this issuer.

Per the Butterfly Supply-Chain Graph, the supply chain field is "NONE," with no butterfly links and no proprietary signals. The source data therefore does not identify upstream suppliers, downstream customers, or sector correlations. For a prospective investor, the relevant second-order question is whether cash-flow pressure visible in the FY 2023 to FY 2025 financials and in the cited downgrade propagates into capital spending or working capital within the Oilfield Services/Equipment industry. The source data does not resolve that question.
