How significant is
National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:
NOV) in the world of rig equipment? You can look at the company's over 60%
market share for rig equipment, the fact that roughly 90% of rigs have some NOV equipment on them or you can just look at the company's nickname - "No Other Vendor." This makes NOV something of an all-comers pick for energy investors. Worried about whether you should invest in oil or gas? NOV's equipment serves both markets, and likewise for onshore and offshore - though offshore looks like the best growth opportunity for the company right now.
Rinse and Repeat
NOV has a habit of not only generating respectable
cash flows, but also using it to build the business, as the rough $6.2 billion in goodwill on the
balance sheet might indicate. It has been good about its
M&A, though, using it to build share and drive efficiencies in the acquired businesses.
