On CAPS, 96% of the 234 members who have rated Bristow believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just yesterday, one of those bulls, fellow Fool Jason Moser (TMFJMo), succinctly summed up the Bristow bull case for our community:
These guys have a pretty enviable competitive position as the biggest player in their space. High economic barriers to entry and there is plenty of investment going on in offshore/deepwater exploration. National Oilwell Varco CEO Pete Miller has even called this "the deepwater century." Bristow's services will be in demand and the stock will win because of it.
