- Tuesday, April 9, 11:47 AM GE's planned purchase of pump maker Lufkin (LUFK) at the industry’s most expensive price tag highlights demand for oilfield equipment that may spark takeover interest from large-cap oilfield servicers for Weatherford (WFT), Flotek (FTK) and Tesco (TESO), Bloomberg writes. Even after WFT surged yesterday on the Lufkin news, its $18B enterprise value still equals just 7.3x trailing 12-month EBITDA. Comment! [Energy, M&A]
- Monday, April 8, 3:19 PM GE's "stunning" $3.3B purchase price for Lufkin (LUFK +37.5%) means Weatherford's (WFT +3.5%) similar business could be worth even more, given its size and global scale, Cowen says. Credit Suisse says the deal reflects the increasing importance of artificial-lift technology as firms pursue oil using unconventional methods. Dover (DOV +1.5%), a third company in the sector, also is up. Comment! [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Monday, April 8, 8:04 AM Lufkin Industries (LUFK) zooms 37% higher to $87.78, just under GE's (GE +0.4%) acquisition offer of $88.50/share, which represents a 38% premium to Lufkin's close on Friday. "GE (is) putting together (a) soup to nuts oil service company now because of U.S. drilling," Jim Cramer tweets. Shares in Lufkin's main rival, Weatherford International (WFT), +4.15%. 3 Comments [On the Move, M&A, Energy]
- Monday, April 8, 2:00 AM General Electric (GE) is reportedly closing in on a deal to acquire Lufkin Industries (LUFK), a provider of pumps and other equipment to the oil and gas industry. There's no word on price, although Lufkin has a market cap of $2.15B. While the company's shares are sure to attract attention, also on watch are those of rival Weatherford International (WFT). Comment! [M&A, Top Stories]
- Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 9:59 AM Weatherford (WFT +3.5%) is attractive on fundamentals and as an acquisition candidate, Dahlman Rose writes. The firm believes WFT's core product lines, global presence and multinational tax structure would be attractive to a number of companies, and the current stock price could make WFT vulnerable to an unfriendly offer. HAL and GE could be interested. Comment! [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
