Oilfield Services We See the Whites of Their Eyes; UPGRADING BHI to OUTPERFORM (from Neutral); Revising Estimates and TPs J. Wicklund HAL: We believe HAL will outperform the broader oilfield service group over the next 12-18 months based on a reacceleration of the U.S. Land market. With this in mind, the Credit Suisse Investment Policy Committee (IPC) is concurrently adding HAL to the U.S. Focus List as the IPC views this name as one of the most compelling opportunities in the oilfield service sector. TP to $53 from $44; based on 6.5x 2014E EBITDA (please see full report for more details). BHI: Upgrading to Outperform from Neutral; TP now $54 from $40 (based on 6.0x 2014E EBITDA). After several years of working through an ill-timed acquisition, corporate structure reorganization and other hurdles, we believe the company is getting back on track and is poised to demonstrate improving earnings results. SLB: Continues to do well. Increased international activity (and some pricing) and supportive commodity prices will continue to benefit SLB. Our only issue is with the relative valuation which at ~40% premium to the other large cap service companies is difficult to justify until returns improve. Maintain Neutral rating and $79 TP, which is still based on 7.9x 2014E EBITDA. 24 April 2013 27 pages Click here for Full Note

National Oilwell Varco (NOV) Lots of Promise But Not There Yet; Raising Estimates J. Wicklund doc.research-and-analytics.csfb.com National Oilwell reported a mixed quarter. Estimates for the year will come down, by our estimates by about $0.30 but the longer-term outlook is bolstered by a very strong order intake of $3 billion, an upside to surprise to most expectations. The book-to-bill rallied, as expected, up to 1.6x but unless the order intake can exceed last year, the book to bill will come down, keeping pressure on the stock. 2013E EPS to $5.58 from $5.48.
