Let’s take a look at comments made by Miller Value Partners about Nabors Industries Ltd (NYSE:NBR) stock in the Q2 2019 investor letter.
“During the quarter we increased our weighting to the Energy sector, and Nabors Industries (NBR), highlighted in our Q4 2018 letter, became one of our top holdings. While it is possible in the near-term that Nabors may experience some volatility in U.S. rigs under contract, we see their operations stabilizing and improving over the next couple of years as they continue to improve their fleet mix to more profitable higher-end rigs and scale up their international and new service operations. Nabors should continue to generate strong free cash flow that should accelerate in 2020 and beyond. Success in continuing to de-lever the balance sheet should accrue significant value to shareholders. We believe the company is currently at more than a 75% discount to their long-term intrinsic value.”
