From Morgan Stanley Oil Services & Equipment: Opportunity Knocks - Drillers Look Attractive on NAV -Industry View: ATTRACTIVE. We like both the drillers and service companies at current valuations. We expect the real momentum to be in the service names and land drillers once the domestic rig count turns. But after the most recent sell off we see the asset-intensive offshore drillers as most interesting from a riskreward perspective. We believe the OSX could deliver a relative rally from current levels on a US invasion of Iraq. Consensus "sell on war" might be wrong given current valuations and strong option value in stocks.
