According to InvestingPro analysis, the company is currently trading below its Fair Value, presenting a potential opportunity for investors interested in the energy technology sector.
The contract, which begins this month, covers the deployment of nearly 500km of monitoring equipment across 140 square kilometers of seabed in the Santos Basin, located 180 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
The agreement includes engineering, procurement, construction, and operation of the OptoSeis PRM system, with installation to be completed by Blue Marine Telecom, a Brazilian subsea cable company.
