What Oceaneering International does

Provides subsea engineering services including remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for offshore oil and gas operators.

Is paid a day rate for each remotely operated vehicle (underwater robot) it keeps on offshore rigs and vessels, so income follows how many days its fleet is working and what operators will pay, which tracks offshore drilling activity. Product sales such as the cables that carry power and fluids to subsea wells are lumpier. A defense and entertainment-ride business sits outside oil and gas.

Products and services

  • ROV operations
  • Subsea products/umbilicals
  • Aerospace/defense robotics

Customers

  • Offshore oil and gas operators
  • Government/defense agencies

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Energy services
  • Subsea engineering and robotics
  • Offshore field services

What could go right

  • Offshore capex recovery
  • Deepwater project growth

What could go wrong

  • Oil price cyclicality
  • Offshore capex delays

Moat: narrow (installed base, scale, process know-how). Largest global ROV fleet and decades of subsea operating experience versus smaller service rivals.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
