Winston is worried
Weak fundamentals across most pillars.

Major Drilling Group International is a contract drilling company that helps mining companies find underground deposits of metals and minerals. It drills holes deep into the earth so that miners can collect rock samples and figure out where gold, copper, and other valuable resources are buried. The company works for large mining firms and junior exploration companies around the world.

Major Drilling earns money by charging clients for each meter of hole drilled, making revenue highly dependent on how much mining exploration activity is happening globally. It operates across more than 20 countries, including Canada, the United States, Australia, and parts of Africa and Latin America, and is one of the largest specialized drilling contractors in the world. The company's main risk is that its business shrinks quickly when metal prices fall and mining companies cut their exploration budgets, which makes revenue volatile and difficult to predict from year to year.
