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
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.
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...
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
Upon second thought, I think the stock is well over its 5% buy point which using the CANSLIM method I would estimate to be in the $112 range. Therefore, IM OUT!
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.

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.
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...
