[Timothy Smith]

Jeffery Vinik cut his stake in Core Laboratories (CLB) by 10% but still owned about 310,000 shares of the stock. Core Labs is another stock that has since passed above $5 billion in market cap. The company provides oil and gas services, particularly related to characterizing and analyzing reservoirs. Core Labs carries trailing and 2013 earnings multiples of 25 and 23, respectively, so the market is pricing in considerable growth. However, in the third quarter of 2012, the company did see 21% earnings growth from a year earlier.

[Timothy Smith]

Very very impressive. Does this bounce off the 52 week high?

CLB’s 3Q12 PR with my annotations: #msg-80740915.

[dav1234]

i added to get down to 105ish avg, ugg..i see they still expect 100M in 3Q on product enhancement sector, i guess slowing revenue growth dictated a much lower p/e

[DewDiligence]

I did not add or sell today. The severity of the lowered guidance astonished me; I will probably wait for the dust to settle before taking any action.

The annualized dividend payout is $1.12/sh, which equates to a yield of less than 1%. Clearly, CLB is not a stock you would buy strictly for the dividend.

Merrill downgrades CLB, attributing price action to short covering:

Bank of America/Merrill Lynch analyst Douglas Becker downgraded oil service company Core Laboratories (CLB) to Underperform from Buy today, arguing that much of the stock’s recent strength is due to short covering.

Becker writes that Core Labs is now trading at 24 times forward earnings, above the high end of its traditional trading range. And the stock’s momentum could slow as a program to settle warrants goes away.

“Since May CLB has entered four accelerated programs to settle roughly 6.6 million warrants originally scheduled to settle over a 20 day period ending in Jan. 2012. We believe shares have been shorted against these warrants, resulting in short covering when the warrants are settled, driving volume – and arguably the shares – higher.”

The above sales (Q2 2010) represented 20%, 27%, 17%, 50%, and 35% of these insider’s holdings, respectively.

Those were really substantial fractions of their holdings! Were this quarter's sales of similar proportion (a lazy, rhetorical question)?

(I did note from your follow-up postings last year that the share price moved to new highs in subsequent months.)

There was about $22M of insider selling one year ago (see prologue of #msg-53398546), but the stock soared afterwards. I never like insider selling of any kind, but for CLB it doesn’t seem to be an indicator of a problem with the business fundamentals.

Have not taken the time to investigate this further, i.e., I'm not sure of the actual trade dates and don't know how these quantities compare to previous trading patterns, but fwiw I came across this list of recent insider trades in CLB.

CLB is at an all-time high and is, remarkably, trading 50% higher (adjusted for split) than in Jun 2008 when oil prices were much higher than today.
