Read MoreHide Full Article
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Nov Inc. (NOV - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 12.2% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Nov Inc. due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
NOV Reports Q3 Loss Wider Than Expected
NOV reported an adjusted loss of 11 cents per share for third-quarter 2021, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 8 cents and the year-ago quarter’s loss of 1 cent. This downside could be due to the ongoing logistics challenges and cost inflation. Worse-than-expected sales from the Rig Technologies and the Completion & Production Solutions segments also proved to be headwinds.
Total revenues of $1.34 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.24%. Moreover, the top line dipped 2.9% from the year-ago number of $1.38 billion.
Segmental Performances
Rig Technologies: Revenues of $390 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $420 million and compared unfavorably with the year-ago quarter’s $449 million. This downside was due to the revenue gain made in the second quarter over the third through the receipt of $74 million, which was associated with the final settlement following the cancellation of offshore rig contracts. The unit’s adjusted EBITDA of $25 million outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14.07 million but decreased from the year-earlier quarter’s $28 million.
Wellbore Technologies: Segmental revenues of $507 million outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $500 million and compared favorably with the year-ago quarter’s $361 million on the back of increased oil and gas drilling activity levels and gains in market share from some markets as well as higher pricing. The unit’s adjusted EBITDA of $77 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $72 million and exceeded the year-earlier quarter’s $21 million.
Completion & Production Solutions: Revenues of $478 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $532 million and also dropped 20.5% from $601 million in the year-earlier quarter. This downside could be attributed to coronavirus-triggered constraints. The unit recorded a negative adjusted EBITDA of $5 million against the year-ago quarter’s figure of $63 million. However, the Zacks Consensus Estimate was an adjusted EBITDA of $15.90 million.
