- Tuesday, May 7, 10:54 AM Dresser-Rand (DRC +3.8%) is turning into a takeover target for potential buyers such as Siemens (SI), National Oilwell Varco (NOV) and Cameron (CAM), Bloomberg writes. GE’s decision to buy Lufkin this year at the highest multiple to profit on record signaled an appetite for takeovers in the oilfield equipment industry, and DRC could be next on the list as the number of takeout candidates in the space diminishes. 1 Comment [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Friday, April 26, 8:13 AM More on National Oilwell Varco's (NOV) Q1 results: EPS and revenues failed to meet consensus estimates, which had already been lowered; NOV cites a softer than expected North American market. Revenue fell sequentially in each of its three segments, with a 9% Q/Q drop in rig technology. Backlog at a record high $12.9B. Shares -3.7% premarket. Comment! [Energy, Earnings, On the Move]
- Friday, March 1, 11:49 AM National-Oilwell Varco (NOV -2.2%) heads south following a downgrade to Sell from Ameriprise Financial. Shares of the drilling equipment maker have had a rough few months, and currently trade at 11x 2013E EPS. 8 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Friday, February 1, 2:24 PM National Oilwell Varco (NOV -4%) slides despite beating Street numbers for Q4 earnings and revenues, as weaker operating margins in the rig technology segment, NOV's largest, eliminated some of the revenue strength. COO Clay Williams says in the conference call that competitive forces have kept prices for new drilling equipment packages "stubbornly" 8%-10% below 2007-08 prices. 2 Comments [Energy, Earnings, On the Move]
- 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]
- 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." Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
- 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]
- Wednesday, August 15, 2012, 9:22 AM Warren Buffett's new energy favorites National Oilwell Varco and Phillips 66 look strong in premarket trading: NOV +2.5%, PSX +1.7%. Intel (INTC), whose shares Buffett liquidated in the latest quarter, -0.9%. 2 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Thursday, August 9, 2012, 11:57 AM National Oilwell Varco's (NOV +0.7%) $2.5B deal to purchase Robbins & Myers (RBN +27.3%) is the sixth deal NOV has made this year alone, pushing its total M&A spending past $4B. Analysts largely applaud the latest deal, calling the price reasonable and saying the two companies fit together well; they expect the deal to boost NOV’s earnings next year. Comment! [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Thursday, August 9, 2012, 8:27 AM Oilfield-equipment company National Oilwell Varco (NOV) agrees to acquire Robbins & Myers (RBN) for $2.54B in cash, or $60/share, which represents a 28% premium to the latter's close yesterday. Robbins & Myers +27%, National Oilwell +0.9%. (PR) Comment! [On the Move, Energy, Breaking News, Top Stories]
- Thursday, July 26, 2012, 9:58 AM National Oilwell Varco (NOV +5.4%) opens strong after Q2 results exceed estimates. Producers have been boosting capital expenditures in the past year and are poised to move much of their North America spending to areas yielding more oil and natural gas liquids instead of cheap natural gas, a shift that could generate even more demand for NOV's products. Comment! [Energy, Earnings, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 25, 2012, 3:57 PM National Oilwell Varco's (NOV -1.8%) Q1 earnings rose an above-consensus 49% on broad growth in all of the company's main business segments, but shares fell as profit margins at its rig technology unit were thinner than expected. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 2:56 PM Halliburton (HAL -2.1%) and Schlumberger (SLB -1.9%) join oilfield services competitor Baker Hughes (BHI -5.9%) in the red after the BHI profit warning. Morgan Stanley chips in, cutting HAL to equalweight as the battle for market share threatens margins. OIH -2.1%. 3 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Friday, March 16, 2012, 9:53 AM National Oilwell Varco (NOV +2.6%) shares enjoy a boost after Jim Cramer says the company dominates oil rig technology as much as Apple does in consumer electronics and media. NOV trades for 12x earnings estimates and just 1x its growth rate, and Cramer says those metrics indicate the stock should be trading ~60% higher. 5 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Tuesday, March 6, 2012, 3:13 PM Nymex crude oil futures drop 1.9% to end at $104.70/barrel, lowest since mid February, rattled by concerns about the ripple effect of a potential disorderly default by Greece as well as China's lower growth outlook. Shares of the big oilfield services firms - SLB -3.1%, HAL -3.2%, BHI -2.4%, WFT -4.1%, NOV -3.5% - are pushed well below their target prices. 3 Comments [Commodities, Energy, On the Move]
- Friday, February 3, 2012, 3:15 PM Adding to National Oilwell's (NOV +6.3%) strength on its earlier announcement that it plans to buy a pipe firm, Morgan Stanley says it's upping the stock to Overweight, citing a growing backlog that should drive the shares higher. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
