I own this stock. I like the stocks potential for a rise in price within 3-5 yrs.

Possible "baby" SLB

IO is DWSN's major US competitor. Both companies provide crucial seismic imaging data to E&D energy producers. You can't do E&D without this sort of information. It's a specialized, niche field whose chief human resources and assets can't be replaced over night by a competitor. I predict a wide-moat long term opportunity. I established a real position here at about $2.60/share.

earnings report! oil field services are in demand.

ION Geophysical is severely undervalued by the market right now. Excellent competition for DWSN. Increasing scarcity and increasing oil and gas prices when the market rebounds certainly won't lead to a slowdown in demand for ION's services.

This stock has stayed at $10 or higher since 4/06 til it dropped down the well so to speak in 10/08. Even if exploration stays as depressed as the analysts seem to think this price is way low. Plus the Price/Book, P/E, low debt and good mgt & margin numbers.

With oil getting more and more expensive, oil companies are going to try to find the best way not to waste time and money and this company does that for them. IO has grown every year and there is no reason it will not continue to grow. In my opinion there will be a 30% growth per year for the next 5, RIGHT NOW is the time to get into this stock. there is no reason for their recent drop except the overall economy and not their numbers.

This company helps oil companies find new oil reserves, which I believe is one of the hardest parts of actually getting oil.

Provide product that makes it "easy" for Jed Clampett to find oil even in your backyard!

Oil companies continue to spend more on E&P (exploration and production) to take advantage of high oil prices. Seismic spending has been growing at a steady 10-15% annually for several years. Seismic accounts for only $10bill of total $300bill of E&P.
Land Business is doing superb!
FIREFLY has a great future potential. BP and Apache are very interested. There is lots of interest in this product in Asia.
ONGC's $60 mill contract in India is great (largest in the history)
Given the company's growth, it is undervalued- PEG below 0.5.

Sometimes bad news is good news. I am happy it came back to me at this level.

Low PE, near 52 week low

Extremely undervalued. World is running out of oil and exploration and management of current reserves will be critical to meeting future needs.
Somehow the connection between future need (exploration) has been lost due to the temporary oversupply of refined products.
Recs
Good growth and earnings ahead.

just watch the oil, but these guys provide help finding it; new contract, too

I am picking outperform, but only over the long haul. Has anyone looked at their balance sheet?!?!?!?!? -52.86% ROE ttm, -32.53% profit margin ttm, 35M in cash, 291M in debt, and -68M FCF. I seriously cannot see how this stock keeps going up compared to its financials.
