Drillers are priced as if oil is returning to $30 BBL. $40-$50 is reasonable, but at those prices, the drillers should do well. ESV has an excellent balance sheet. which could set it up a a takeover target if there is consolidation in the Drilling sector. The volatitlity makes this a trade though and not a long term holding.

I don't know. I fail to comprehend looking at such deep value. ... or I just don't know what I'm looking at. One or the other. Just current cash flow alone, which will be almost meaningless with the explosive EPS growth (expected). The price has no choice but to follow the growth, or the PE will be less than, what, 2.

Ensco International Incorporated, a mid sized company in the Oil & Gas Drilling & Exploration Industry is off from its high approximately one-third in an industry that the oil and natural gas companies need to provide the drilling rigs for pumping out the oil that is in high demand. Plus, it is priced lower than other stocks in the same industry in terms of Price/Cash Flow, Price/Book Ratio, Price/Earnings Ratio, Price/Sales Ratio.

Furthermore, its growth ratios in terms of percentages is much greater than its Price/earnings Ratio which would appear
to make it a bargain buy at its current price.

The forecast for demand for oil vs its supply is going to continue for many years to come. And thus, the oil & gas drilling & exploration will continue to be in demand. ESV continues to raise its per day rates as a result of that demand
And for the foreseeable future there is no other alternative but to search and explore for more oil and natural gas.

ESV has a substantial backlog of orders for more drilling platforms and rigs.
