Cactus, Inc. (NYSE: WHD) is a U.S.-based energy equipment manufacturer that designs, manufactures, sells, and rents pressure control and spoolable pipe technologies for the oil and gas industry. The company operates through two segments: Pressure Control, which provides wellheads and related equipment under the Cactus Wellhead brand for drilling, completion, and production phases, primarily serving onshore unconventional oil and gas wells; and Spoolable Technologies, which produces composite pipe and end fittings under the FlexSteel brand for production, gathering, and takeaway pipelines.
Both segments are supported by field service operations, including installation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment, and rental services delivered through a network of service centers. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Cactus was founded in 2011 and went public in February 2018, with operations spanning the United States, Australia, Canada, the Middle East, and other international markets.
The companys focus on onshore unconventional wells ties its business cycle closely to U.S. shale drilling and completions activity, while its FlexSteel spoolable pipe serves as a flexible, corrosion-resistant alternative to conventional steel pipelines for gathering and transportation applications. The equipment-and-services business model, which combines product sales with recurring rental and field service revenue, is a common structure in the oilfield services sector, where demand is driven by upstream capital expenditure cycles.
