RPC INC represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
RPC INC receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 44.9/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2822 out of 7,333 stocks. RES's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
With a quality score of 53/100, RES shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 4.9% (sector avg: 4.3%), gross margins of 25.8% (sector avg: 45.8%), net margins of 3.6% (sector avg: 5.8%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
RES's value score of 51/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 24.95x, an EV/EBITDA of 5.98x, a P/B ratio of 1.22x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
RPC INC's investment score of 25/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 22.8% vs. a sector average of 0.1% and a return on assets of 3.6% (sector: 3.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
RES is currently showing below-average momentum at 35/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 22.8% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.28 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
With a stability score of 47/100, RES exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.28 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 36.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
RPC INC's short interest score of 34/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.28), elevated leverage (D/E: 36.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $1.1B (small-cap), RES carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
RES pays a solid dividend yield of 3.4%, contributing an income component to total returns. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
RPC INC is a small-cap company in the Mining sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2822 of 7,333 overall (62nd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 4.9% exceeding the 4.3% sector median and operating margins of 4.4% below the 7.6% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Mining peers.
While RES currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the MINING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

RPC (RES) shares recently jumped 5.5% on higher-than-average volume, signaling optimism for its oilfield services driven by sustained oil and gas activity. The company is expected to report strong quarterly earnings and revenue growth, although current earnings estimate revisions show no upward trend. Investors should monitor RES to see if its recent momentum can be sustained.

RPC Inc. reported Q4 2025 earnings where diluted EPS of $0.04 missed the forecasted $0.06, leading to a 19.18% stock drop pre-market.
