Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

NOV Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 81.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 25% a year, against analyst forecasts of 10%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

No flags apply to this company at this time: accounts, balance sheet, and cash quality all pass. A clean bill of health is meaningful, not just the absence of a warning. This analysis describes numbers; it is not investment advice.
