NOV Inc.
NOV Inc. (ticker: NOV) is a manufacturer and service provider to the oil and gas industry, specialising in drilling equipment, rig systems and aftermarket services. With a market capitalisation of about $4.85 billion, NOV serves exploration and production companies, drilling contractors and national oil companies around the world. Its revenues are driven by equipment sales (rig components, well-construction tools) and recurring aftermarket services, where parts, maintenance and upgrades can provide steadier cash flow. The business is cyclical and closely linked to oil and gas activity and commodity prices, so earnings and order books can vary significantly over time. NOV has invested in drilling automation and efficiency technologies but faces industry-specific risks including project delays, commodity price swings, and regulatory and environmental pressures as energy markets evolve. This summary is educational, not investment advice; investors should assess how NOV fits their goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, and consider seeking regulated financial advice.
