AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

As a value investor, I start with business quality. PEDEVCO is a tiny oil and gas producer—25 employees—selling commodities, so it has no real pricing power or moat. At the close on 2026-10-13, the shares were $13.25, market cap $176.1M. FairStock calculations show P/B 0.88, trailing P/E -4.94 on EPS -$2.68, ROE -10.60%, ROCE 5.57%, D/E 0.43, and EV/EBITDA 8.18. TTM free cash flow is $31.1M, a 17.7% FCF yield. Piotroski F-Score is strong at 8/9, but Altman Z-Score is 0.40, a clear distress warning. The filed numbers are volatile. Fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, had revenue $46.1M, net income $17.5M, diluted EPS $1.31. Fiscal Q1 2026, ended 2026-03-31, had revenue $40.2M, net loss $25.6M, diluted EPS -$3.28. FY2025, ended 2025-12-31, revenue was $45.8M and net loss $10.4M, diluted EPS -$2.25, after FY2024 net income $12.3M and diluted EPS $2.76. FairStock labels it a TURNAROUND—loss in latest year after earlier profits. The high FCF yield and sub-book P/B offer a margin of safety, but one good quarter does not prove durable earnings. Oil prices, depletion, and a low Altman score keep this speculative. I would need consistent FCF and a stronger balance sheet before calling it a stable value.

In plain English: PEDEVCO is a small oil and gas producer that buys and develops wells in the United States. The business has swung between losses and profits, but its latest reported quarter was profitable and it generates a lot of cash compared with its market value. At $13.25, the price looks cheap compared with its asset value and cash generation, but the uneven profit history makes it risky.
