National Oilwell Varco – NOV Shows Good Recovery in the Oil Market, Which Is Taking Root, Thus Becoming Evident in the Results of the Second Quarter of This Year.
The company’s oilfield equipment revenue surged to meet demand, which finally allowed it to generate profit. These results are expected to continue improving from here, as the recovery is still in its early stages. National Oilwell Varco’s revenue rose 20% compared to the same quarter last year, to US $ 2.11 billion, which also increased 17% compared to the first quarter. Additionally, the company reported US $ 24 million, or US $ 0.06 per share, in net income, reversing a consistent string of losses.
The drilling technologies segment stood out when revenue grew 35% sequentially and 19% year over year, exceeding expectations, driven by advancements in the construction of new offshore drilling rigs, the delivery of two land rigs, and aftermarket sales. The company also booked US $ 2.03 billion in new orders during the quarter, including US $ 1.8 billion associated with a recently signed joint venture with Saudi Aramco, raising the backlog to US $ 3.51 billion.
