Narrative Update • Aug 24
FET: Raised Outlook And Buybacks Will Drive Stronger Earnings Quality
Analysts now place Forum Energy Technologies' fair value at $91.00, compared with the prior $78. This change reflects updated assumptions on revenue growth, profit margins and a lower future P/E multiple in their models.Seeking Alpha • Aug 04
Forum Energy Technologies: Management Keeps Delivering
Summary FET’s Q2 showed again that it can gain market share while improving margins, even despite the global rig count declines. They have recurring consumables, subsea exposure, and specialized equipment that diversify it beyond just a rig-cycle rebound. Saudi Arabia and UAE facilities create customer proximity, but they also add direct regional disruption risk. Still, I don’t think FET is as obviously cheap as before. But if management’s guidance materializes, I believe the valuation remains compelling today. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaRecent updates

Oil Bulls Should Pay Close Attention To Forum Energy Technologies
Summary Forum Energy Technologies is a global manufacturer of a variety of products used in the oil, gas, industrial, and renewable energy sectors. Strong year-over-year performance can be mainly attributed to the Variperm acquisition that took place in January 2024. 2025 guidance indicates a mediocre year with declining EBITDA and FCF, but debt repayment could improve future EPS. Despite stagnant growth, FET's strong cash flow and focus on the higher margin Artificial Lift and Downhole segment makes it a value play for oil bulls.

Forum Energy Technologies: A Stock Buying Back 40% Of Its Market Cap
Summary Forum Energy Technologies announced a US$75 million share buyback program, to address the issue of stock undervaluation. The share repurchase program of such a magnitude seems to be supported by the balance sheet, business fundamentals, and especially anticipated FCF in the foreseeable future. I believe the current bearish sentiment represents an opportunity for risk-tolerant, patient investors with no less than a two-year investment time horizon to consider this turnaround story.

Forum Energy Technologies: Valuation Concerns Before The Potential Recovery
Summary Forum Energy Technologies' order book in the Artificial Lift and Downhole segment grew in Q1, indicating a potential recovery in 2H 2024. Demand for FET's coiled tubing and drilling capital equipment decreased in international markets due to budget cuts by operators. FET's cash flows improved mildly in Q1, but its debt level increased aggressively after the Variperm acquisition, leading to a "sell" rating for the stock.

Forum Energy Shares Encouraging Scenarios
Summary Forum Energy Technologies is expected to see a better time in the coming days, with the US drilling market set to pick up pace in 2H 2023.

Forum Energy Non-GAAP EPS of -$0.45, revenue of $191M; issues FY23 EBITDA guidance
Forum Energy press release (NYSE:FET): Q4 Non-GAAP EPS of -$0.45. Revenue of $191M (+29.0% Y/Y). Orders received were $215M, with a book-to-bill ratio of 113%. "Looking ahead, on-going global supply and demand imbalances for commodities are creating long-term opportunities for energy investment that will benefit FET. Given the industry’s focus on profitability and shareholder returns, we anticipate modest U.S. rig count growth during 2023. However, equipment utilization and service intensity are expected to remain at extremely high levels. In addition, offshore and international market activity growth, particularly in the Middle East and Latin America, should accelerate in 2023 and serve as the engine that sustains a multi-year investment cycle. With these assumptions, our EBITDA guidance range for 2023 is $80 to $100 million."Seeking Alpha • Dec 29
