Owning Cameron (NYSE:CAM)
shares hasn't always been the easiest investment play, as these shares
have delivered plenty of volatility in response to order flow and margin
progress (or lack thereof). Management dug itself into a hole on the
margin side with inadequate production capacity, but that issue seems to
be on its way to a strong resolution. Cameron has also regained a lot
of momentum in the subsea market and the joint venture with Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB) should continue to pay off in opening doors to new business.
The
issue with Cameron shares typically comes down to timing. Cameron
should be looking at several years of good revenue and margin/FCF
performance as it delivers on its large order book. At the same time, I
believe we are looking at an extended cycle as more and more energy
companies go offshore to find production growth. Discounted cash flow
unsurprisingly isn't a lot of help, but the difference between a 9x and
10x EBITDA multiple on the shares swings the fair value by almost $9.
