DNOW: Flat Growth Still Does Not Warrant A Buy
Summary DNOW's topline saw slight growth in late 2024, mainly due to the U.S. segment, but overall growth remains pressured by weak international performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin stayed flat at 7.9%, with EPS beating estimates at $0.25. Consolidated topline growth is expected to be impacted by short-term headwinds including a softer demand environment, lower upstream customer spending, and project delays in international business. Volume pressure should impact margin in 2025, despite the expected gains from cost control initiatives. I am maintaining my neutral view due to the unfavorable outlook in the short-term.

DNOW Inc: Not Really Attractive At This Stage As Growth Is Slowing Down.
Summary DNOW Inc. faces near-term headwinds with declining topline in Canada and International segments. Despite positive long-term prospects in midstream and energy transition projects, the company's topline growth, particularly in its core U.S. segment, is expected to be under pressure from reduced customer activities. Given the weak near-term outlook and expected revenue and margin pressures, I am downgrading DNOW Inc. to a HOLD rating for now, despite favorable long-term growth potential.

NOW Inc.: Steady Drivers But Lacks A Punch In The Short Term
Summary DNOW continues to invest in supercenters and has won large project awards in various sectors, indicating potential growth opportunities.
