Oil States International (OIS) is a stock that’s been strong since September 2010 and shows no sign of slowing down as we enter the New Year.
Oil States International was recommended in Cabot Top Ten Weekly back on December 20, and here’s what editor Michael Cintolo wrote:
“Oil States International has been making headlines recently with its acquisition of The MAC, an Australian company that provides “mixed-use villages” for workers in key natural resource regions. The acquisition fits perfectly with Oil States’ business, which centers on providing housing, rental tools, piping, land drilling and products for deepwater oil and natural gas production and pipelines. Oil States is a global company, but 69% of last year’s revenues came from the U.S. and 22% from Canada. That’s why the Australian acquisition is a significant one, widening the company’s reach. The company has been on a solid roll in the last two quarters, with earnings growth of 69% and 66%, on revenue growth of 30% and 29%, respectively. With oil prices on the rise, and a broad service offering, Oil States International looks like a solid player.”
The stock was trading at 63 when that was published, and it’s now at 65, still base-building in what promises to be an eventual breakout toward 70. On the downside, there’s support at 58, so if you’re lucky enough to get the chance to buy on a correction, I recommend you grab it.
