Newpark Resources, Inc. (NYSE:NR)

Could appeal to both long and short term oriented buyers, IMO.

From Finance Google: Newpark Resources, Inc. (Newpark) is a diversified oil and gas industry supplier providing products and services primarily to the oil and gas exploration (E&P) industry.

The price to book is 1.
The price to earnings is 7.

For the last 10 years the company has traded at a P/B between 1 and 2 (exception was great depression where it traded at .67). In the last 10 years it has risen above a PB of 1.6 seven times. I wouldn't consider this for serious long term buy an hold unless management changes significantly, but the opportunity for expansion of price to book is strong.

Natural gas prices have likely hit rock bottom - as it is this baby's selling for roughly 7x earnings, and 6x 2013 earnings. Good medium or long-term play on the recovery of natural gas.

beaten down by prices but it'll rebound

Expanding business into previously untapped markets.

Newpark's earnings indicate their stock price should be near $15 per share (depending on what level of P/E you think the stock deserves). They are in an industry that is not going anywhere. Newpark has shows revenue and ernings growth on a consistent basis. The stock is beginning to level out at the bottom of a pull back that started quite a while back. I am looking for Newpark to begin a rather aggressive climb to at least $12 per share in the next couple months.

Wow, I think I found a winner. By the numbers it appears to be very good. Hopefully it can live up to such good potential.

Over sold based on current market valuations vs long term outlook, short and long term buy at $8.80 as of 02Nov2011 closing price.

Growth in Fracking will drive revenues for the near term

High Public Opinion with Low Relative Strength

Operational Excellence basket

Provides products and services to the Oil and gas E&P industry. Little more of a gamble than say Halliburton, but I think the upside is worth it

Good growth and future earnings.

NR is diversified, The curent ration is 3.0, The 5 and 10 year charts are worth looking at. Was profitable in Brazil. Oil prices have been rising (go figure). Fidelity is a major share holder and has increased its position.

Beat down by the drop in oil prices and as E&P companies have gotten beaten up as well. As the economy levels out and people start driving and the economy picks up and shipping and airlines and all that get back to normal and growing again.

$7.50+/share

ok
