NOV Should Benefit From a Recovery in Offshore Drilling Activity

Joshua Aguilar Jul 29, 2026

NOV is a large, diversified oilfield services supplier with leading market positions in rig equipment, solids control services, and downhole tools, among others. But since the peak of the US shale revolution until the present, the company has undergone a period of meaningful value destruction, only starting to turn around this slide in the early 2020s with cost rationalization initiatives. The lean return years have been due to a meaningful fall in global rig count due to rising producer efficiencies that has hurt NOV’s core business. NOV will still have to contend with these issues moving forward.
