Nabors Industries (NBR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Nabors Industries (NBR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Nabors Industries has reported a year-over-year increase in day margins, reaching $17,931, primarily driven by newbuilds in the SANAD region, indicating a positive trend in operational efficiency. The company is positioned for growth with anticipated increases in Saudi Arabian drilling activity and potential boosts from higher commodity prices that could enhance exploration and production spending. Additionally, strategic asset sales, such as the $625 million offloading of Quail Tools, have improved financial leverage and provided avenues to address its significant debt maturities, reinforcing a favorable outlook for the company's financial health.
Bears say
Nabors Industries has experienced a significant negative impact on its free cash flow, with delayed collections in Mexico resulting in a shortfall of $30 million against expectations, contributing to a 6% reduction in its Q3 2025 EBITDA estimates to $234 million. Furthermore, the company's projected EBITDA for 2026 and 2027 has also been revised downward by 16% and 15%, respectively, indicating ongoing financial challenges. Coupled with a leveraged balance sheet burdened by $2.5 billion in maturities over the next seven years, these factors create an unfavorable risk/reward equation for the company’s stock in the near term.
