Yes, it’s true. With offshore drillers like Noble (NE) Rowan (RDC) and Ensco (ESV) all down more than 20% this year, Societe General now have “neutral” stance on the group. The bank cut its ratings on Noble, Ensco and Rowan, as well.
Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesSociete Generale’s Edward Muztafago explains why now:
Conditions in the offshore drilling market are continuing to worsen. Dayrates for high margin deepwater rigs are falling significantly, and in many cases are coming in materially below our expectations. The situation will likely be exacerbated with little improvement in exploration demand and a significant influx of uncontracted newbuild arrivals (15 of 34) over the next 12 months. There is also risk the shallow water jack-up market could follow suit, with 50 of 60 planned newbuilds still needing to secure commitments over the next 12 months. We see limited prospects for a near-term rebound in offshore drilling stocks as a result of the worsening conditions, and believe offshore drilling could remain the most out of favour oil services subsector for several more quarters. We lower our dayrate assumptions, as well as offshore driller eps, multiples and price targets.

Despite economic and political turmoil, equity markets performed well across the board in September of 2013 and over the trailing twelve months. The September gains reversed losses in August and also resulted in positive overall quarterly performance with a number of major indexes moving further into record territory. After disturbing the markets in May and June with comments that they may taper Quantitative Easing (QE), the Fed surprised investors with an announcement that it would not reduce its asset purchases in the near-term. The announcement removed fears that a continued rise in interest rates may stall the economic recovery, as seen by the market's negative reaction to the sharp rise in the 10-year Treasury rate in August of 2013. Investors were also comforted by improving fundamentals both domestically and abroad. The Eurozone may finally be emerging from its prolonged recession and a number of economic reports in the U.S. continue to show progress. Specifically, initial unemployment claims dropped to a multiyear low early in September and the housing market continued to improve, as evidenced by prices rising 12.4 percent year-over year, which along with the stock market's strength, has created a positive wealth effect for consumers. In response to this general economic improvement, consumer confidence increased at the end of September, and the index of leading economic indicators ticked up as well, suggesting that, absent the effects of politics, the recovery in the real economy was continuing. Our portfolios that focus on corporate restructuring (Keeley Small Cap Value, Keeley Small-Mid Cap Value, Keeley Mid Cap Value, Keeley All Cap Value, and Keeley Alternative Value) have all experienced a productive investment cycle with respect to their opportunity sets, and many of our holdings have posted impressive results in recent quarters.
