HOLD

Short? Reticent to short. Past year has seen demand for drilling and day rates go up, and this should persist for a while. Good performer. Content to hold.

BUY

Service company in energy in Canada. Big player in US and Canada. Looks very attractive as a play on energy pickup. In the drilling business for precious metals, and increasingly base metals like copper.

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.

oil / gas field services

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.

oil / gas field services

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.

oil / gas field services

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.

oil / gas field services

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.

oil / gas field services

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.
