- Monday, May 20, 5:35 PM Deutsche Bank remains bullish on oil service stocks (OIH), seeing favorable underlying trends in Q1 as North American margins improved Q/Q despite a decline in the rig count, suggesting significant operating leverage as activity levels recover. DB's four top stocks to buy, all with price targets well in excess of Wall Street consensus: BHI, HAL, NBR, HERO. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, May 20, 8:57 AM In deals divesting itself of the majority of its inland fleet, Hercules Offshore (HERO) sells 11 of its inland barge rigs to an undisclosed buyer for $45M and sells its inland barge rig Hercules 27 to another unrelated buyer for $10M. HERO expects to book a non-cash impairment charge of ~$40M in Q2. Comment! [Energy]
- Thursday, April 25, 6:33 PM Moving to take advantage of higher rates, Hercules Offshore (HERO) says it may reactivate a second mothballed rig in the Gulf of Mexico at a cost of $20M, 42% higher than a prior forecast, due to more electrical repairs needed. The news overshadowed a solid Q1 report, which showed operating income for its Gulf drilling rigs rose to $39.5M from $1.8M a year earlier and a better-than-expected 49.5% gross profit margin. Comment! [Energy]

- Friday, April 19, 11:59 AM Hercules Offshore (HERO -0.4%) shares slip despite a positive article in Barron's, which says the jack-up rig provider is set to make sizable medium-term gains as companies return to drilling in the Gulf and day-rates head higher. The article says HERO has a strong management team, has leading technology to find new deposits, and controls about half the Gulf market. Comment! [Energy]
- Tuesday, April 9, 3:32 PM Moody's upgrades Hercules Offshore's (HERO +0.9%) junk rating a notch, saying the driller will benefit from increasing activity in the shallow-water Gulf of Mexico and international offshore markets, which is driving higher day-rate momentum and longer contract durations; the improved conditions could result in better cash flow and lower leverage over the next 18-24 months. 1 Comment [Energy]

After-hours top losers: CRUS -7%. AAPL -6%. SWKS -6%. HERO -5%. ALTR -5%. 3 Comments [On the Move] - 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]
- Thursday, December 20, 2012, 12:31 PM Hercules Offshore's (HERO +4.6%) share price target is raised to $7.50 from $6.50 at Dahlman Rose, as the firm increases its 2013 EPS estimate to $0.50 from $0.35 (consensus $0.27) and its adjusted EBITDA estimate 9% to $351M due to higher leading-edge fixtures following yesterday's fleet status report. 1 Comment [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
