ATW: Bull or Bear?

Atwood's shares are on the move ATW

+27.97% in 79 days Filed under: Stocks to Buy It goes without saying that I favor oil/oil services plays, including drillers. And it likewise goes without saying that I'm not surprised by contract driller Atwood Oceanics recently climb. I'm reiterating my Buy rating for Atwood (NYSE: ATW), first recommended on April 25, 2009 at a price of $21.82. If you bought ATW then, you're up a cool 35%.

Atwood Oceanics (ATW) - Steady as She Goes ATW

34%

-3.62% in 456 days Atwood Oceanics (ATW) again provides the shortest earnings release of any company we follow [May 8: Atwood Oceanics Short and Sweet Beat]. Matched analysts estimates, and continues to prosper. Fundamentals say buy, technicals say sell/avoid/short - we'll stick to technicals. However, a very nice long term double bottom could be forming in the chart - once commodities come back as the flavor of the week. <><>Atwood Oceanics, Inc., (NYSE: ATW - News) Houston-based International Drilling Contractor, announced today that the Company earned <>net income of $60,381,000 or $0.93 per diluted share, on ...

FCX, ATW, DVN: Ones to watch ATW

50%

-11.00% in 458 days S&P Target Price: 53 We see the potential for rig shortages in a number of international regions over the next several years, which, if realized, would  likely benefit the company. ATW has an upcoming June 30 deadline to exercise an option for a potential second newbuild  floater; if exercised, this rig would represent ATW's eleventh drilling rig. We think it is more likely than not that ATW will exercise the option, given expected strength in deepwater demand, and ATW's recent willingness to construct new rigs without prior commitments.

Bookkeeping: A Few Energy Purchases ATW

34%

-16.49% in 22 days (closed on 08/08/08) This is quite a traumatic selloff, but once these momentum trades reverse, a lot of rats want to get off the same ship through a very narrow door. I said I would not believe this is a bottom until THE strongest sector (natural gas) got hit, and it appears I'm getting my (ahem) wish. I'm going to being placing some orders into the panic, into 2 service names and one natural gas name we began yesterday. On the service side we cast Core Laboratories (CLB) to the side early this week [Bookeeping: Closing Core Laboratories] To compensate for that "position" in terms of sector exposure by final...

Transocean (RIG) a Piece of Green in a Sea of Red ATW

34%

-11.16% in 9 days (closed on 07/17/08) I was wondering why Transocean (RIG) was bucking the trend today in the oil services and sticking in the green - looks like they just announced a 5 year, $1.19 Billion contract for their rig Pathfinder. If you divide that into days, it looks like a day rate of $650K+ which is about as high as I've seen. Continue to love this space and wonder why the valuations are not higher. <><> Transocean Inc. (NYSE:RIG - News) today announced that its deepwater drillship Deepwater Pathfinder, a single-activity rig capable of drilling in water depths up to 10,000 feet, has been awarded a five-year contract ...

Atwood Oceanics (ATW) - a Beautiful Breakout ATW

34%

-11.20% in 11 days (closed on 07/08/08) I highlighted Atwood Oceanics (ATW) new contract earlier this week [Jun 25: Atwood Oceanics Announces New Contract] - the stock has been on fire since, and looks like the name got an upgrade yesterday <> Shares of oil drilling contractor Atwood Oceanics Inc. set an all-time high Thursday, as the price of oil soared and after a Credit Suisse analyst upgraded the stock a day earlier. On Wednesday, shares of Atwood were upgraded by Credit Suisse analyst Arun Jayaram to "Neutral" from "Underperform" following news of a contract. <>"<>We believe Atwood's growth rate will be the highest in the industry for...

Atwood Oceanics (ATW) Announces New Contract for Atwood Hunter ATW

34%

+8.50% in 2 days (closed on 06/27/08) Atwood Oceanics (ATW) is one of my oil sea drillers - this group continues to confound me in terms of valuation - many trade at 11-15x estimates even though the growth rates are 30-35%+. Blah, they are still valued as cyclical stocks. Anyhow, unlike the godfather of the industry, Transocean (RIG), which has a bazillion (ok maybe a few less than a bazillion) rigs, Atwood only has 8 functioning rigs, and of those only 3 are of the "deeper" variety - Falcon, Hunter, and Eagle (along with 1 new deepwater scheduled for 2011). So when news comes out on any of these 3, we want to focus on it. L... Continue reading »

Buying atwood ATW

47%

-28.70% in 510 days While energy stocks are going through the roof and energy producers having a ball, Atwood Oceanic is my recommendation for a great stock to compliment your energy position. During the gold rush days, not all prospectors struck it rich, some found gold and some didn't.. the people who were consistently getting rich were those who went out west and provided services to the minors such as banking, groceries & supples.. Atwood are the ones who build Oil barges and other oceanic drilling equipment and rather than take the risk of a dried up well, they simply lease their rigs to those who h... Continue reading »

Petrobras is Hoarding the World's Deep Sea Drillers ATW

34%

+2.12% in 40 days (closed on 06/25/08) <>Wow, interesting factoid via Bloomberg<!----> - Petrobras (PBR) has leased 80% of the world's deepest sea drilling rigs. I mentioned when I sold off Diamond Offshore Drilling (DO) I was very interested in moving that money (on a pullback) to Noble Energy (NE) due to its Petrobras connection [Apr 25: Bookkeeping: Selling Diamond Offshore Drilling - Will buy Noble Later] but frankly it looks like every driller is going to have a Petrobras connection at this rate. Again, Petrobras in my book, will become the largest company (by market capitalization) on the planet (surpassing Exxon) [<>May 13:... Continue reading »
