- Friday, January 25, 12:14 PM National Oilwell Varco (NOV +0.6%) is downgraded to Buy from Strong Buy with an $83 price target, down from $105, at ISI Oil Services, which cites the maturing newbuild cycle as being behind a slowing down in NOV's forecast performance. The firm bases its lower price on 11.5x its revised 2014 EPS estimate. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas]
- Tuesday, January 8, 3:56 PM National Oilwell Varco (NOV -2.8%) is downgraded to Sector Perform with an $80 price target, lowered from $88, by RBC Capital, which says NOV's share price is heavily tied to rig equipment orders. The firm believes a near-to-intermediate term lull in orders may begin in 2013 as the industry digests the influx of equipment ordered in recent quarters. 2 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Thursday, January 3, 2:48 PM Morningstar recognizes National Oilwell Varco's (NOV) Pete Miller as its 2012 CEO of the Year, praising his "stellar job at capital allocation, identifying major industry trends, investing billions in capital ahead of the shifts, and then executing brilliantly on deals." Miller "pulled off without a hitch" an acquisition-heavy strategy that carries the risk of operational miscues in an industry where reliability is prized. 3 Comments [Energy]
- Monday, December 24, 2012, 8:18 AM Robbins & Myers (RBN) reports FQ1 EPS of $0.76 vs. $0.77 in the same period last year, and $257M in sales, up 9% Y/Y. Also, RBN and National Oilwell Varco (NOV) agree to provide at least 30 days notice to the Justice Department prior to consummating NOV's proposed $60/share takeover. Comment! [Energy, Earnings]
- 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, 5:56 PM Antitrust reviews by U.S. and Canadian officials on Robbins & Myers' (RBN) planned $2.5B acquisition by National Oilwell Varco (NOV) have been extended, pushing the deal’s proposed closing date into 2013. The moves are not a big surprise; RBN -0.2%, NOV -0.3% AH. Comment! [Energy, M&A]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 8:13 AM An investigation by shipyard owner SembCorp Marine finds a braking system failure on one of the movable legs was the cause of Monday’s jack-up tilt that injured 89 workers. The rig involved in the incident was identified as the Noble 1 by contractor National Oilwell Varco (NOV), which had workers on board at the time. Comment! [Energy]
- Monday, November 26, 2012, 12:26 PM Raymond James doesn't seem impressed by Cameron's (CAM -1.4%) $275M order from South Korea’s STX Offshore & Shipbuilding. "It is still a bit early to get excited" by CAM's award, the firm says; while National Oilwell Varco (NOV -1.8%) likely will maintain its dominant market position in drilling equipment, the impact of the STX deal on CAM’s balance sheet “could be fairly significant."

- Friday, November 2, 2012, 10:58 AM T. Boone Pickens sees natural gas prices rising to $4.50 or $5 in the next year and perhaps $6 by 2015, and suggests two energy favorites: National Oilwell Varco (NOV), due to its huge shale opportunity for development with support remaining for oil domestically and internationally, and Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD), pointing to its 900K acres of assets, particularly in the Permian basin. 10 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, October 25, 2012, 12:27 PM National Oilwell Varco (NOV -4.1%) posted better than expected Q3 profits and enjoyed solid demand for deepwater equipment, but shares are down sharply on worries about the stalled U.S. land drilling market. Demand for NOV's products and services continued to grow in international markets, but softened in North America, which accounts for half its revenue. 4 Comments [Energy, Earnings, On the Move]
