Fair Value models

Bear $9.39 Fair Value $13.26 Bull $17.12
Price $18.03 · Downside -26.5%
Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models. Based on fiscal year 2025 figures (about 10 months old). Earnings retained since then ($0.2845 per share) are deliberately not added. Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds. Coverage ⓘCoverage = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

Revenue & earnings trend

Growth Quality ⓘGrowth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency. Basis: total company revenue over the periods shown on the cards (3Y/5Y/all years), not per share, so a merger can show up as a growth jump; per-share earnings growth is in the value-creation card. 55/100
Spin-off in 2014: revenue and profit before it include the divested business. Growth is measured afresh from 2014.
Revenue growth 1 year
−1.4%
Revenue growth 3 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+6.5%
Revenue growth 5 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.

Revenue growth 11 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
−7.8%
What shareholders gained per year (last 3 years) ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 3 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate. Basis: adjusted.

Profit margin 2020 to 2025 ⓘOperating margin then vs now, from reported annual statements. A falling margin after a boom year is the classic peak-earnings signal: the growth rate then leans on an inflated base.−40% → 7%
⚠ Revenue per share shrinking 5.7%/yr over ~10Y (margins eroding too) ⓘStructural-decline marker: revenue PER SHARE has fallen over the last decade (robust median trend, not a single year). Backtested across 2005 to 2017, such businesses trailed the market by about 2.5 percentage points per year. Display only: it does not change the fair value or the quality score.

Growth Forecast

Little optimism in the price
The price assumes less growth than the company has delivered so far and less than analysts expect.
What the price assumes ⓘThis turns our valuation around: instead of asking what the share is worth, it asks what growth the current price requires. It uses the cash the company keeps after all spending (free cash flow), the same discount rate as our models, five years of growth, then slowing evenly to 2 % a year by year ten. Compared with the analysts' sales forecasts extended to the same five years (at least three analysts, for context only, it does not enter the Fair Value): within 3 percentage points counts as "in line" (amber), below that little optimism (green), above that a lot of optimism (red).
−7.6%
The company could shrink this much every year for the next five years and today's price would still be justified.
What forecasts expect ⓘAnalysts publish sales forecasts for the next two fiscal years. For the years after that, growth slows evenly to 2 % a year by year ten (2 % is the long-run rate our models use). Projected years are marked as such.
+3.2%
Yearly sales growth analysts expect, extended to five years.
After inflation (USA: IMF forecast 2.4% a year to 2030, 3.1% from 2016 to 2025) that is about −9.8% a year for the price and +0.8% for the forecasts.
Forecast 2026 (sales)−0.7%
Forecast 2027 (sales)+4.7%
Projected 2028 (sales)+4.3%
Projected 2029 (sales)+4.0%

Recent news coverage is unusually upbeat, far more positive than stocks are typically covered.
Note from the team Oct 11, 2026
AI conclusion: Backlog above four billion dollars in subsea flexible pipe and offshore equipment grants multi-year revenue visibility, yet limited durable moat and thin margins persist in a competitive cyclical sector.
Main risk: Cyclical energy exposure combined with book-to-bill below one hundred percent risks slowing conversion of existing backlog commitments into steady revenue and margins.
NOV holds a backlog exceeding four billion dollars, led by subsea flexible pipe and offshore production equipment orders. This provides multi-year revenue visibility in a cyclical business where book-to-bill remains below one hundred percent. Will conversion of these existing commitments drive better results than waiting for a broader capital spending recovery?

Does NOV Inc. pay a dividend?
NOV Inc. currently shows a dividend yield of 0.42% relative to its recent price (as of Nov 6, 2026).
What growth is priced into NOV Inc. (NOV)?
For today's price to be fair in a discounted-cash-flow model, NOV Inc. would have to grow free cash flow by -7.6 % per year for five years (discount rate 9.7 %, then slowing evenly to 2 % perpetual growth by year ten). Over the last 5 years revenue grew +7.5 % per year. As of Nov 6, 2026.
What discount rate (WACC) does the fair value of NOV use?
Our models discount NOV Inc. at 9.7 %: a base by market capitalisation (mid), damped by beta 0.98, country premium for USA. The same rate applies in all 26 models.
What is a reverse DCF?
A reverse DCF turns the usual calculation around. Instead of deriving a value from assumptions, it takes today's price as given and asks: what free-cash-flow growth would a company have to deliver for exactly this price to be fair? The result is not a forecast but the expectation already priced in. For NOV Inc. that is -7.6 % per year a year over ten years, using the same discount rate (9.7 %) and the same formula as our fair value.
How much growth has NOV Inc. (NOV) delivered so far?
Over the past 5 years revenue at NOV Inc. grew +7.5 % a year. The price currently implies -7.6 % per year free-cash-flow growth a year. Comparing the two shows how much confidence is in the price: if it demands more than has been delivered, the business has to accelerate for the maths to work.
How fast is the sector of NOV Inc. (NOV) growing?
The median revenue growth in the sector is +14.2 % a year. That is the yardstick for the growth priced into NOV Inc. (-7.6 % per year a year): it shows whether the expectation is within the usual range or beyond it.
What is the free cash flow yield of NOV Inc. (NOV)?
The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 13.16 %: that much free cash flow NOV Inc. produces per unit of market value. When it exceeds the discount rate of our models (9.7 %), the business already earns more than its cost of capital demands, and the price needs little additional growth.
What is the intrinsic value of NOV Inc. (NOV)?
Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For NOV Inc. it is $13.26 per share (as of Nov 6, 2026), against a price of $18.03. It is the blended result of 25 valuation models (cash flow, earnings, asset, dividend).
Is NOV Inc. stock overvalued or undervalued in 2026?
As of Nov 6, 2026, NOV trades above its calculated fair value: price $18.03, fair value $13.26, a gap of about −26% (overvalued). The calculation is refreshed with each new quarterly report, so the verdict can change during the year.
Is fair value the same as the market price of NOV?
No. The price is what the market pays today ($18.03); the fair value is what the company's own numbers justify ($13.26). For NOV Inc. the two are $4.77 per share apart. That gap is exactly why we show both numbers side by side.
How much is NOV Inc. worth?
The market values NOV Inc. at about $6.6B (market capitalisation, as of Nov 6, 2026). Per share that is $18.03; our models calculate a fair value of $13.26 per share.
What do the bullish and bearish scenarios say about NOV?
Our models span a range for NOV Inc.: cautious scenario $9.39, base $13.26, optimistic $17.12 per share (as of Nov 6, 2026, price $18.03). The range comes from different growth and margin assumptions, not from analyst opinions.
What is the P/E ratio of NOV?
NOV Inc. trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 44.0 (as of Nov 6, 2026). A P/E on its own says little: it compares the price with ONE year of profit, while our fair value of $13.26 is built from several models across several years. Other multiples: PEG 0.8, P/B 1.1, P/S 0.8, EV/EBITDA 6.8.
What is the PEG ratio of NOV?
The PEG ratio of NOV Inc. is 0.78 (P/E divided by earnings growth, as of Nov 6, 2026). That is below 1, so growth is priced more cheaply than the earnings multiple alone suggests.
How solid is the balance sheet of NOV Inc. (NOV)?
Balance-sheet figures for NOV Inc. (as of Nov 6, 2026): return on equity 2.3%, debt of 0.27 per unit of equity. They feed the Quality Score of 56/100, which measures business quality independently of the share price.
How far is NOV from its 52-week high?
NOV Inc. trades at $18.03, about 17% below its 52-week high of $21.71 and 28% above the low of $14.12 (as of Nov 4, 2026). Distance from the high says nothing about value: that is what the fair value of $13.26 is for.

From the same area (Energy) we also value SLB N.V, Baker Hughes Company, Tenaris S.A, Halliburton Company, among others. Each of them has its own fair-value calculation on this site using the same models, so the comparison is like for like.
