COMMENT

Would purchase TCW than PD. Owns neither. The collapse on oil price will impair spending further than maintenance capital. There is always a bad actor that ruins the pricing power. Would prefer the producers.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 16/20, Up 180%) Historically, service stocks were the high beta stocks but in this cycle, production needs to be kept flat. We will see some service cost inflation next year. We might not see growth in cap-ex though.

PARTIAL BUY

We are on a different cycle than in the past. The business model has shifted which is now positive for oil macro. Oil production growth is no longer elastic to rising oil prices. They are now taking free cashflow and companies are now buying back stocks. There is an opportunity for a rerate. Owned it post-consolidation. Fair value is in the $40s. Does not think the oil company will run out and drill again.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 12/20, Down 9%) He used to own 5% of the company and made a 40% profit in a few months--but he sold it way too early. Give this lesson, now he'd rather sit on oil names and ride it out, or else he'll miss the upside. Companies like this won't spend as much capex even with the oil price rise. You can do better elsewhere.

TOP PICK

The biggest land driller in Canada and one of the largest in North America. They still generated free cashflow even during challenging times. At $50 oil, they can generate free cashflow equivalent to their market cap if producers drill to maintain production. Downside is limited since they generated free cash this year still. (Analysts’ price target is $1.22)

BUY on WEAKNESS

Expect less drilling activity but they will survive. They have first-class equipment in the US and Canada. It's a higher-beta name, thus more speculative. Buy this on weakness. He expects drilling to pick up in 2021.

DON'T BUY

This was his largest holding as of a week ago, but he sold out last week as oil producers getting hit hard. With oil imploding, he expects capex budgets will get slashed. It is difficult to see how this stock would do well, when producers are cutting back.

TOP PICK

There is a base level of activity to just maintain production. The stock price is already demonstrating a poor drilling season outlook. They could privatize the company in 2.5 years on current cash flow. An outlook for $60 oil will lead to an uptick in drilling activity from here. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $2.89)

oil / gas field services

DON'T BUY

The chart is pretty ugly right now and he does not see the bear trend ending yet. He wants to see a base form first.

WATCH

The spending outlook for drilling in 2020 is very poor. Companies can not justify spending more to just keep production flat, especially when the market will not give you credit for it. Companies should be putting free cash flow into share buybacks. It is negative for service companies. He wonders when this has been fully discounted in the share price. He is more tempted to buy a producer.

BUY on WEAKNESS

It came out of the index. They are paying down debt. He'd like to see it paid down a little more. When the rig count picks up next year, he thinks the stock is very cheap here. It is more speculative because of the debt load.

COMMENT

They're in a rough business (oil) that won't turn around for a while. But you can make money on bounces like today.

oil / gas field services

DON'T BUY

Doesn't like it. Carries heavy debt from recent acquisitions. The 10-year chart is very negative. The oil industry is shifting to fracking and using PD's drilling less and less. You buy this if you think oil returns to $100. He believes oil is rangebound at $40-80.

oil / gas field services

DON'T BUY

They have done a good job. They are knocking debt down. The problem is that the rig count coming out every Friday is coming down from where it was a year ago.
