National Oilwell Varco, Inc. (NYSE:NOV)

too low. should come back, big.

talking frog told me so

Great compant! It was brought down huge with oil prices.It will go up big with oil prices going back up.

I bought this stock at 29.00 - way undervalued for the largest MFG of oilfield equipment in the US. Company has about 2 Bil in cash and will do well in this market.

Also read that NOV is snatching up smaller companies

Expansion is good for the long run

RIDE THE WAVE BETWEEN 30 AND 24 PER SHARE

Another company that will profit from a gradual improvement in the economy worldwide. They make what the drillers need to run, train the employees of the companies that buy their equipment, and they service what they sell, making it very diffficult for a company to move to a competitor after making the initial investments. Good entry price at this time, lots of share appreciation as things improve. Lots of contracts to help carry them through the slow time. A very strong company with good positioning for growth going forward.

oil will be back...get it now

The company has great ratios for it industry.
Do people really think that oil is going to stay below $40 a barrel? Long term thinkers can take advantage of short term craziness. Buy, buy, buy.

Fundamentals/Value

Motley Advisory Pic

Not being an expert at analyzing companies I have to look at the basics. An oil services company. Low oil prices. Tankers full of oil floating on the ocean waiting for a market. Big oil reducing capital spending. A highly rated stock. No dividend.

This doesn't seem like a good time to buy.

I remember as a kid reviewing the energy services companies. They had as a whole decreased in value for the prior ten years. The other thing I remember from my childhood about cyclical stocks is that when the P/E is lowest the stock is the most overvalued. I'm not smart enough to explain why, but historically that's the way it's been. Maybe it's the boom and bust cycle. Just after a boom the P/E is very low until the bottom of the bust cycle when it's very high. Seems like it would be better to buy at the bottom of the bust than just after the peak of the boom.

We've got some time here. Refinance your house, rededicate yourself to your job, spend some quality time with the family. Whatever, but stay out of the energy services, engineering and contruction stocks.

tracking my portfolio

Obamanomics will make this one continue to rise

From all reports, they have a backlog of contracts [orders] for the next 2 yrs. Anyone who thinks oil will not be higher in two years should reconsider, and look at what history has to say about the price of oil. Plus, they are hiring to meet demand..MO

This stock is up 100% over 5 years ago. 6 months ago, it was 600% over that same point. It has dropped like a rock because of the financial crisis, but the company itself hasn't changed.

MMMMMMMMMMMM. good guess?

Oil prices will be down for a while... but they will pick up... eventually

Crude can't stay this low forever.

Beat down pretty badly, poised to make good comeback.
