Despite a drop in net profit margins from 26.6% to 17.8%, earnings are projected to grow substantially at over 31% annually, surpassing the Saudi Arabian market's growth forecast of 6%. However, interest payments remain inadequately covered by earnings, posing a financial challenge.

Despite a recent net loss and reduced profit margins from 30.7% to 9.3%, its earnings are forecast to grow substantially at 45% annually, outpacing the Canadian market's growth of 15.5%. However, a high debt level poses financial risks despite robust production increases and revenue growth projections exceeding market averages.
