National Oilwell Varco, Inc (NOV)

[ogbull]

Notes 2/3/2016... National Oilwell Varco:

This is 2 year buy and hold.

Other oil service companies, especially drillers and well head service companies, have large fleets of equipment that need to be maintained. By contrast, NOV is in the business of manufacturing that equipment. So the company has little equipment maintenance. This is a big advantage during tough times.

The company has a large build of inventory that has eaten into the company's cash so far this year. It can still generate enough cash to more than cover its capital spending and its dividend. With $1.85 billion in cash on the balance sheet, there is more than enough to cover and cash shortfall.

NOV still has a pretty healthy balance sheet. It has repurchased $3 billion worth of the company's stock over the last year.
