Trican Well Service Ltd. emerges as a key player in Canada's oil service sector, particularly noted for its leadership in pressure-pumping and fracking services, particularly in the Montney and Duvernay Basins. Experts highlight the company's recent strategic acquisition, which has enhanced its synergies and contributions in a cyclical environment increasingly favorable for well completions due to LNG terminal activities. While the stock has experienced volatility, several analysts underscore its strong cash generation and significant improvements in margins and return on invested capital under new management. The stock currently offers an attractive dividend yield, and despite ongoing challenges in the services sector, there's an optimistic outlook for future performance fueled by potential increases in natural gas prices and drilling activity.

TOP PICK
30% of its business comes from Russia and is growing dramatically. Recently bought into the US. Likes companies that are expanding outside of Canada.
BUY
Falloff has to do with natural gas prices and the slowdown in drilling. Offsetting this, they are very active in the US through its fracturing and cementing business. Is also doing major work in Russia. Earnings estimates have been cut for this year and
HOLD
Extremely well managed. Backed off with a weaker natural gas environment. If there is recovery in the 2nd half, it could go to all-time highs.
HOLD
Energy services are bottoming out. Support level is at $19.25 and if it breaks through that it will just keep dropping. There will be a lot of resistance around $23. Start selling at $21 and definitely be out at about $19.
BUY
Entered the US market where there is huge potential. Looking for a minimum 10%-15% annual return.
BUY
Only 3 oil service companies that he would own. This one is a great technology stock in this space. Lots of exposure to Russia so earnings are less volatile than a western Canadian play. Also in the US. Other 2 would-be Ensign (ESI-T) and Precision (PD-T).
BUY
Probably more money to be made in the oil service area than in oil itself. He is buying Zed.i Solutions (ZED-X), Trican (TCW-T) and Pason (PSI-T) for new accounts.
TOP PICK
A world-class leader in terms of the fracing business. Have a stranglehold on the Canadian market. Have been in Russia for several years and have recently expanded into the US.
TOP PICK
Made an acquisition of a US company, Liberty Pressure Pumping, in the same activity and is active in some key fields in Texas. The acquisition is substantially accretive to their earnings. Probably the first of a number of US acquisitions. Expects US institutional interest will increase.
BUY
Probably one of the best oil service companies out there. Spectacular management and they are in the high end of the market with high margins. Stock has been knocked down with natural gas problems. Probably a good contrarian play.
HOLD
Energy services space has been really hit. As colder weather comes, these stocks tend to do better. Great management team and well run. Great assets. If you own, don't sell until March/April.
DON'T BUY
This company has been hit badly because of the gas situation. They are more deep well oriented. They have great management and international exposure in Russia. Would pick this company over others in this sector. But sector has not done well.
BUY
Focused on natural gas. Less risk with drillers then with gas producers. Likes this one for the long-term. In the near term, it will be very volatile. There will be a shortage of natural gas long-term. Political risk in Russia is much diminished.
BUY
This will bounce around with the price of energy. Given the requirements for new drilling and a lot of the new wells require fracking, this kind of company is a wonderful investment long-term.
BUY
Similar performance as with oil/gas stocks but with half the risk. Can see more of a shortage in natural gas in the future.
