- Tuesday, January 22, 5:30 PM Notable earnings before Wednesday’s open: ABBV, ABT, APD, ATI, BHI, CHKP, COH, DGX, FNFG, GD, LCC, MCD, MSI, NVS, PX, RES, SAP, STJ, TEL, TXT, UTX, WLP Comment! [Earnings]
- Friday, January 18, 5:15 PM Gas and oil rigs in the U.S. dropped for the eighth straight week to the lowest level since March 2011, according to Baker Hughes' (BHI) latest rig count. Schlumberger (SLB) CEO Paal Kibsgaard, believing the market for fracking services is still oversupplied, foresees the North American rig count recovering somewhat in 2013 but remaining lower than in 2012. 1 Comment [Energy]
- Thursday, January 17, 3:44 PM The oil services sector (OIH) may have turned the corner on the way to gains in 2013, Deutsche Bank says in raising price targets on several stocks. Baker Hughes (BHI) is the firm's top pick, with significant leverage to both the U.S. onshore and Gulf of Mexico recovery; Halliburton (HAL) is another preferred large-cap. Nabors (NBR) is the favorite mid-cap, and Hercules (HERO) the top small-cap play. 2 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, January 14, 5:57 PM As the rig count "fell off a cliff" last month, oilfield services firms (OIH) have resigned themselves to dismal Q4 earnings, and Schlumberger (SLB) and Baker Hughes (BHI) have tried to prepare investors for the blow. With the market for services still oversupplied, analysts say the North American land drilling recovery will take time to work through, but 2013 should prove less gloomy as the year progresses. 1 Comment [Energy]
- Friday, January 11, 2:54 PM U.S. gas and oil rigs dropped for the seventh straight week to the lowest since March 2011, according to Baker Hughes' (BHI) latest rig count. Oil rigs have fallen every month since September as companies scale back drilling in response to high crude supplies and declining prices; the gas count has shrunk to less than a third of its Aug. 2008 peak after a shift from dry-gas plays to more profitable liquids. 2 Comments [Energy]
- Tuesday, January 8, 9:39 AM Baker Hughes (BHI -1.9%) is downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Sterne Agee, on concerns about profitability in Latin America, uncertain profit margins in the U.S. and Canada, a cloudy outlook in the Eastern Hemisphere, and better risk-reward among rival companies. Also, RBC cuts shares to Sector Perform, forecasting BHI's top line up ~7% in 2013 vs. peer average estimates of 12% growth. 1 Comment [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 2:21 PM Oil drilling rigs in the U.S. dropped by the most in a single week in 20 years, according to the latest weekly rig count from Baker Hughes (BHI), dropping by 41 to 1,340, the lowest level since April. Total U.S. rigs dipped by 25 to 1,774 vs. 2,008 in the year-ago period. The drop could stem from generally falling crude prices as the outlook for energy consumption next year slides. Comment! [Energy]
- Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 2:57 PM Baker Hughes' (BHI +2.8%) warning of lower Q4 North American revenue and profit margins wasn't as bad as some had expected, and shares have powered higher after early weakness; peers HAL +3.2% and SLB +1.8% also gain. Analysts are divided on BHI's guidance; Barclays sees the report as a buying opportunity, while other analysts cut their price targets to as low as $40. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 7:54 AM Baker Hughes (BHI -1.5%) warns that operating margins at its North American segment will fall to 8.5%-9.5% in Q4 from 11.7% in Q3, with revenues also set to drop. BHI blames "weaker than anticipated onshore activity" and further price falls at its pressure pumping operations. BHI faces headwinds overseas as well but still expects its international operating margin to be similar to the 12% it recorded in Q3. Comment! [Energy, Earnings]
- Monday, December 17, 2012, 12:38 PM Baker Hughes (BHI -0.5%) is downgraded to Equal Weight with a $50 price target (down from $55) by Morgan Stanley, which says recent profit warnings and conversations with operators show Q4 activity deteriorating faster than expected. Also, Canada's rig count has declined 20% Y/Y and may be down as much as 30% by year-end, with further deterioration in pricing. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, December 14, 2012, 8:33 AM Schlumberger (SLB) -2.3% premarket after warning of a $0.05-$0.07 cut to expected EPS in Q4, caused by contractual delays combined with higher than usual seasonal slowdowns in activity in the Europe/CIS/Africa area plus weaker than anticipated land activity in North America. HAL -1.3%, BHI -1.6%. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 10:29 AM Among energy companies tracked by 24/7, the sharpest increases in short interest came in top pipeline MLPs Kinder Morgan (KMP) and Enterprise (EPD). With the pipeline partnerships’ business model a proven winner, the increase in short interest looks like a bet against the pipeline companies based on debt levels and shrinking cash flows as demand slackens. 11 Comments [Energy]
- Friday, December 7, 2012, 8:21 AM Baker Hughes (BHI) says its international rig count for November rose 0.6% from the prior month and 6.9% Y/Y to 1,267. The average U.S. rig count was 1,809, down from 1,834 in October and from 2,011 in Nov. 2011; the average Canadian rig count was 384, vs. 365 the prior month and 487 in the year-ago period. Comment! [Energy]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 12:35 PM Oilfield activity outside North America will drive a 7% rise in 2013 global energy E&P spending to a record $644B, Barclays projects while recommending buying oilfield services stocks. The sector's big four - SLB, HAL, BHI, WFT - are trading below their historical levels on most measures, it says, while RDC and Noble NBL are the best value among offshore drillers. 1 Comment [Energy, Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Saturday, December 1, 2012, 8:40 AM A Texas law requiring drillers to disclose chemicals they pump underground during fracking is toothless, critics say, because anything deemed a trade secret is exempt. Drillers in Texas claimed ~19K such exemptions through August of this year. Several other states also leave it up to energy firms to decide which chemicals can be labeled secrets. Most frequent at withholding fracking secrets: NBR, HAL, BHI. 2 Comments [Energy]
- Monday, November 26, 2012, 4:39 PM Baker Hughes (BHI) says it has converted a fleet of its hydraulic fracturing equipment to run partially on natural gas. The new pressure pumps use a mixture of natural gas and diesel, reducing diesel use by up to 65% and reducing costs. Comment! [Energy]
