The Ethical Read
Why It Clears, in Plain English
Drilling Tools International clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 32%, inside the ~33% line, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.

What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Our model only; the analyst targets sit too far from the price to cross-check it.
Our analysis reads Overvalued vs our fair value, as of 5 Nov 2026: it trades above our $0.96 fair value estimate, none competitive moat.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-11-05 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. The price runs 46.9% above the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 2 covering, consensus Hold. The average target sits +212% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as fully-to-richly valued here, while the Street is more bullish: a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.
Where our models see it going: fair-value estimate $0.96, with a range of $0.96 to $1.69, dated to the 2026-11-05 screen.
Fair value and rating are our own model estimates; the Street's range reflects third-party analyst estimates. Analysis, not advice.
The Business, in Plain Words
Why it gives us pause
At 8.6x forward earnings, the price already runs ahead of the business. It trades 47% above our $0.96 fair value, so you would be buying at a premium, not a discount. The none moat is real, but quality alone does not make an expensive price cheap.
Another profit measure, before interest, tax and non-cash costs: EBITDA.
The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market.
