Company News
NOV Inc. has announced a $200 million investment to double capacity at its subsea flexible pipe manufacturing facility in Acu, Brazil, over the next several years. The expansion responds to sustained deepwater development demand and an anticipated infrastructure replacement cycle, with current capacity near full utilisation and backlog extending into 2028. On 4 March, Goldman Sachs raised its price target on NOV to $20 from $17 whilst maintaining a Sell rating, noting that structural drivers including production decline offsets should sustain customer investment levels long-term. The Houston-based company supplies equipment, technology and services to the global oil and gas industry. Management believes the expansion positions NOV to capture increasing offshore activity in the multi-year upcycle.
NOV Inc., an oilfield equipment and technology provider, was highlighted as a top performer in Artisan Mid Cap Value Fund's fourth-quarter 2025 investor letter. The company's quarterly earnings exceeded expectations due to strong execution and margin improvement in its energy equipment segment, alongside robust free cash flow generation. NOV demonstrated shareholder-friendly capital allocation through dividends and share repurchases whilst maintaining a conservative balance sheet with low net leverage. The company generated revenues of $2.28 billion in Q4 2025, though it posted a net loss of $78 million. As of 31 March 2026, NOV shares closed at $18.81, with a market capitalisation of $6.86 billion. The stock gained 22.94% over the past 52 weeks, though it declined 3.59% over one month.
NOV announces expansion of subsea flexible pipe manufacturing capacity to support growing demand. GlobeNewswire | NOV Inc. Today at 3:30am PDT * NOV to roughly double the capacity of its manufacturing facility in Brazil over the next three years to support anticipated demand * $200 million capital expansion positions NOV to capture expected growth in offshore development activity and advance solutions for high-CO[2] applications * Sustained high utilization and strong backlog across existing facilities support the need for additional capacity HOUSTON, March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - NOV Inc. (NYSE: NOV) today announced plans to roughly double the capacity of its subsea flexible pipe manufacturing facility in Açu, Brazil, through a $200 million investment over the next three years. "We are expanding our subsea flexible pipe manufacturing facility in Açu, Brazil to support what we see as sustained, long-term demand," said Jose Bayardo, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of NOV. "Along with our key customers, we believe this investment is critical to meeting growing demand driven by deepwater developments and an expected replacement cycle for flexible pipe installations. "Our current manufacturing capacity has been operating at or near full utilization and has a backlog that stretches well into 2028. With the anticipated increase in the development of offshore resources, we believe that the industry's current capacity will be insufficient to meet demand at the end of this decade and into the 2030s without the additional capacity we plan to bring online in late 2029. "This expansion also positions NOV to introduce new technologies, including our CO[2]-resistant subsea flexible pipe designed for high-CO[2] applications, which has the potential to expand the market for flexible pipe. "NOV is uniquely positioned to lean into this compelling growth opportunity as our facility in Açu was originally designed to be able to complete this type of expansion at a fraction of the cost of building a greenfield plant with comparable capacity." Flavio Bretanha, Executive Manager for Subsea Systems at Petrobras, stated, "As the world's largest consumer of subsea flexible pipe, we support NOV's investment in Brazil, which expands local manufacturing capacity. Subsea flexible pipe is a critical component in enabling Petrobras to achieve its offshore production targets, consistent with our broader production strategy. NOV has long served as a trusted partner for Petrobras, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration to advance technologies that enhance reliability, safety, and operational performance." The $200 million investment plan will result in an approximately $50 million increase to the Company's 2026 capital expenditure plan. NOV delivers technology-driven solutions to empower the global energy industry. For more than 150 years, NOV has pioneered innovations that enable its customers to safely and efficiently produce abundant energy while minimizing environmental impact.
