Trican Well Service Ltd. (TCW-T) has garnered positive attention from various experts in the energy services sector. Analysts highlight the company's strong market position as Canada's largest pressure-pumping and fracking company, particularly in the Montney and Duvernay Basins. The firm's recent acquisition has been viewed as synergistic and strategically significant, with expectations for increased activity in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, driven by new LNG terminal developments. Despite the company's performance being marked by volatility, its modernized equipment, stock buybacks, and reinstated dividends suggest a constructive outlook. However, the energy services sector remains challenging, with potential pressures on margins due to competitive pricing strategies in cyclical downturns. Overall, the sentiment is optimistic regarding the company's growth potential and financial performance.

BUY
A great company. One of the premier plays in the service area.
HOLD
Doesn't follow this sector. The industry of oil services is one that you want to be involved in. In the cycle of the next 3 to 5 years they will have immense pricing power which means immense profit expansion.
DON'T BUY
All the small oil service companies have had a terrific run. Smaller ones have a lot of volatility so would play the bigger names instead.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Loves the management team. Expecting the 2nd quarter for a lot of these drillers and service companies to be weak because of the incredible amount of rain in Calgary. Will be buying if there is any dip in these stocks.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 30/05. Up 26%.) This is the time to be looking at drillers and oil service companies as there is record drilling activity happening out in western Canada. Day rates are going up and their level of activity is going up.
BUY
On a bit of a pause and he can't see any reason why it shouldn't start moving in its own time. You can be halfway comfortable with their Russion operations. A very high quality company.
BUY
Likes both Calfrac (CFW-T) and Trican (TCW-T). The pressure pumping business and the oil services industry is tremendously profitable. There's only about 4/5 players. It's very rational and necessary.
BUY
Compared them with Calfrac (CFW-T) and between the two would probably choose this one but would be happy with either of them. Likes the service area as a low risk way to play the oil/gas sector.
TOP PICK
Should do very well. Less of a risk than oil/gas plays. Growing with natural gas demands. Tremendous growth in earnings.
DON'T BUY
Has had a fabulous run, but wouldn't step in at this price.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 4/04. Up 50%.) Still likes. They might change into an income trust. Their Russian subsiduary is doing extremely well. Still a lot of growth left in spite of their run-up. Not expensive.
BUY
Very cheap. One of the leading Canadian companies active in Russia helping to rescusitate the infrastructure.Expects much higher numbers over the next few years.
BUY
Oil service industry has been doing very well and it looks like oil companies are going to do a lot of drilling. Just remember that when the market starts to weaken, it can affect a lot of stocks. Would be comfortable with this stock.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 5/04. Up 46%.) Great company and good growth. Still holding on.
DON'T BUY
A phenominal Cdn company in terms of technology and pushing the envelope in what they do. Dominates the fracking space. Has gotten expensive.
