In a report published Friday, Morgan Stanley analyst Ole Slorer reiterated an Equal-Weight rating on
National-Oilwell VarcoNOV
, but lowered the price target from $76.00 to $53.00. In the report, Morgan Stanley noted, "The rig building cycle is now mature and NOV's earnings less defensive. We see a 50% drop in 2015 EPS, and high degree of uncertainty in 2016. Yet, we see a high level of rig attrition providing a compelling long-term bull case. We're lowering estimates meaningfully below the Street and PT to $53." National-Oilwell Varco closed on Thursday at $53.24.
