CGG Veritas (ADR) (CGV)

CAPS Rating:
*****

An international provider of geophysical services and manufacturer of geophysical equipment.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Price already reflects increased demand. Will cycle up and down over time with the price of oil. Oil is at an all time high....It may go higher still, but it will also come back down.

At this point, the oil & gas services sector is beaten into the ground, just because oil has fallen to $90/bbl. It would have to fall to $40/bbl before these folks see even the slightest slowdown in activity.

Ok, I just don't believe that demand for oil and natural gas has evaporated. We need more while we search for and build alternative solutions. According to TMFDoodleBugger, who is a TX geophysicist and ought to know, CGG is very good at processing shear-wave data and: "As the shale gas plays begin to emerge the amount of seismic data needed will increase by an order of magnitude or more. BP and XOM are becoming major players in this game so more exotic (and higher margin stuff like shear-wave and high density) products will be in demand in areas that have never had seismic data acquired before."

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
