SMALL WONDERS: Global Industries
Ticker: GLBL
Market cap (billions): $1.9
P/E ratio*: 15
Return on assets: 9%
Free cash flow** (millions): $206
Global Industries provides support for offshore oil drillers - everything from pipeline construction to project management to diving services. It has a presence on four continents, and should benefit from the rush to drill ever deeper for oil.
With a low price-to-earnings ratio, the company is a fairly cheap buy that should mature over time as global demand for oil continues to soar.
