The fact that it operates in the energy sector, possesses a solid moat, and maintains conservative debt levels, all while growing consistently, paints a picture of a disciplined operator. While the cash flow generation, indicated by the cash machine metric, could be a bit more robust, the overall picture is one of a potentially sound long-term investment.
