AROC offers superior revenue growth across key periods, better profitability, and relatively lower valuation.

  • AROC’s quarterly revenue growth was 29.3%, vs. BKR’s 0.1%.
  • In addition, its Last 12 Months growth came in at 20.1%, ahead of BKR’s 6.2%.
  • AROC leads on profitability over both periods – LTM margin of 33.4% and 3-year average of 26.6%.

That is one way to look at stocks. Trefis High Quality Portfolio evaluates much more, and is designed to reduce stock-specific risk while giving upside exposure
