Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Nabors Industries stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Nabors Industries is one of the market leaders in the North American land drilling market and is well positioned with a sound mix of high performance rigs and new rigs working in the key shale plays. As it is, the company is poised to grow on the OPEC output- cut deal which is expected to improve the crude prices and thus spur the drilling activities. The company’s recent acquisition of Tesco is expected to prove immediately accretive to its earnings and result into various synergies. However, Nabors’ high leverage along with rising operating and direct costs pose risk. We also need to factor the company’s poor earnings surprise history and unfavorable return on equity. All these are also reflected in the dismal price performance of the company which have tumbled more than 60% year-to-date. Therefore, until the commodity price environment strengthens, we maintain a cautious stance on the stock." (9/11/2017)
• 2. Evercore ISI analysts commented, "Since we suspended coverage in May of 2016, Nabors has undergone a mini-transformation which we believe is deserving of a multiple re-rating. The company's new strategic plan (presented at its November analyst day) outlines a path which should alleviate many of the stock's perceived overhangs, namely: leverage, outsized international exposure, and a relatively smaller, less-capable domestic fleet. The company is also pursuing several strategic and technological initiatives to add additional auxiliary services with the rig serving as a platform for service integration. This should allow the company to capture a greater portion of customers' drilling spend and increase margins. Speaking to this point, NBR expects to generate $1.6 billion in 2020 EBITDA, which is 111% of 2014 EBITDA but with just 80% of its 2014 rig-years as global margins increase to 113% of 2014 levels. With a plan in hand, execution now becomes the focus. We rate the shares Buy with a $20 PT based on 6.0x our 2019E EBITDA of $1.5 billion." (2/22/2017)
