NOV Inc. downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Citi

The firm says offshore drillers have begun to stack previously active rigs while the land drillers don’t see much recovery in the U.S. next year, leading both groups to reduce capex. As the leading provider of rig equipment and a key supplier of ancillary products/services, this is a clear headwind to NOV, contends Citi.
