Dawson Geophysical: Cash At All-Time High But Almost No Revenue

With oil and gas valuations recovering, it will become harder to find undervalued upstream companies. However, oilfield services are still lagging behind E&P because the high oil and gas prices so far haven't spurred significant increases in exploration and production. As a seismic data acquisition services provider who depends on new exploration activity, Dawson Geophysical will be on the very back end of the oilfield services recovery. Dawson Geophysical's robust cash position indeed makes it appear like a great deep value prospect; unfortunately, revenue has fallen to almost zero and there are no signs of future revenue. For now I will pass on the company, but I will watch for any reversal in the negative revenue trend over the next two quarters.
