SmallCapPower | July 13, 2016: Oil stocks with economical operations will have strong EBITDAs and, better yet, strong EBITDA margins. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization is often used to gauge operational success in a business, as it foregoes items that are more obligatory and relatively constant in similar industries. That being said, the oil stocks on our list have strong EBITDA margins and will likely benefit more from an oil-price surge than its competitors.
