Ariel Focus Fund made the following comment about Nabors Industries Ltd. (NYSE:NBR) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
The two largest positive contributors were Nabors Industries (NBR) and Quad Graphics (QUAD), holdings that were up more than 50% net of fees. Nabors remains an attractive energy service public LBO with significant value unlock potential from ongoing debt reduction. The company is well positioned to benefit from strong ongoing demand in their global high spec rig fleet. We believe the marketplace is overlooking the very positive supply/demand environment for the energy service sector leading to high asset utilization and significant pricing power. Nabors’s proprietary technology and efforts to scale up their energy transition efforts has the potential to create significant incremental value for the company that does not seem to be reflected in the current share price. We believe the company remains an extremely attractive reward/risk opportunity, closing the year at $3.00/share (pre reverse split) and is still at a greater than 60% valuation discount to peers, 2x cash flow, and normalized free cash flow yield near 40%.
