Tuesday, May 21, 12:38 PM Oil States (OIS -0.6%) is downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Sterne Agee after shares jump 30% since Jana Partners disclosed its big stake and suggested turning its worker accommodations business into a REIT. Indeed, OIS shares could be worth $130-$145 with such a change, the firm says, but investors buying shares now are betting on exactly that; Sterne says it isn't yet willing to handicap the potential. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, May 15, 5:53 PM David Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital took a 4.9% stake in Oil States International (OIS), a company he declared a target for shareholder activism target last week; Greenlight now ranks as the no. 5 shareholder in OIS. The fund also boosted stakes in Apple (AAPL) to ~2.4M shares from 1.3M (earlier) and Marvell Technology (MRVL) to 51.8M shares, more than 10% of shares out. New stakes: HES, SPR, GMCR, IACI. 8 Comments [Energy, Tech]
Tuesday, May 14, 6:08 PM Shares in Oil States (OIS) have run to all-time highs in recent weeks, and a spinoff of the accommodations business is "very viable, and given the momentum, it’s very likely," Frost Advisers' Ted Harper says, but there's a major obstacle: OIS will have to take out the bondholders, paying them a $150M premium to make them whole on top of the $1B in debt issued by the company over the past two years. Comment! [Energy]
Thursday, May 9, 6:35 PM Energy stocks bubbled up as top ideas several times at the Ira Sohn investment conference. David Einhorn endorsed Oil States (OIS) if it elects to go the REIT route with its unique side business, Jonathon Jacobson reiterated questions swirling about how Linn Energy (LINE) accounts for hedging gains, and Tor Olav Troim talked up deepwater drillers including Seadrill (SDRL). Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Thursday, May 9, 7:47 AM Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn closed the Ira Sohn conference last night predicting Oil States International (OIS) could be worth $155 if it spins off its accommodations unit, an idea Jana Partners came up with last month. The market doesn't appreciate that OIS, a provider of specialty services to energy companies, has higher-margin, higher-multiple businesses than its competitors, Einhorn says. OIS +2.9% premarket. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
Friday, May 3, 10:03 AM Oil States International (OIS +2.2%) bows to pressure from top shareholder Jana Partners and says it will consider spinning off its accommodations business, possibly via a REIT. The unit, which provides housing for energy industry workers in remote locations in Canada, the U.S. and Australia, accounted for ~25% of OIS' 2012 revenue of $4.41B. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 30, 12:50 PM Oil States International (OIS +16.3%) shares hit all-time highs after Jana Partners disclosed a 9.1% stake in the company and said it’s talked with management about separating OIS's well-site services unit and creating a REIT for the oilfield housing business. The accomodations unit may be valued as much as $5.5B under a REIT structure, Sterne Agee estimates. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 30, 12:46 PM Midday top 10 gainers: TTHI +45%. PTIE +26%. DRRX +26%. MTOR +23%. MGAM +20%. OIS +16%. GIB +14%. HGSH +15%. ARWR +13%. TXRH +13%.
Midday top 10 losers: DCTH -44%. AVEO -26%. NUAN -18%. AOSL -18%. PBI -16%. AEIS -13%. MSTR -10%. ANV -10%. ELTK -10%. SYN -10%. Comment! [On the Move]
Monday, April 29, 6:00 PM Oil States International (OIS) +7.1% AH on news activist hedge fund Jana Partners has taken a 9.1% stake (~5M shares) in the company. The firm held no shares at the end of the December quarter. Jana is fresh off a defeat in its attempt to elect a group of dissident nominees to Agrium's board. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 24, 4:59 PM Oil States International (OIS): Q1 EPS of $1.85. Revenue of $1.1B beats by $0.04B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

Thursday, December 27, 2012, 3:13 PM Oil States International (OIS +0.7%) is initiated with a Buy rating at Standpoint Research, citing opportunities for growth in Asia and Africa. OIS is highly levered to oil prices but the firm notes a disconnect between the share price and oil prices relative to the high correlation it sees with most names in the sector. Also, an OIS director discloses buying ~13K shares at $70.05 on Dec. 21, worth ~$900K. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, October 31, 2012, 4:37 PM Oil States International (OIS): Q3 EPS of $1.87 misses by $0.07. Revenue of $1.1B (+22% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Energy]
