Nabors Industries price target lowered to $88 from $110 at Barclays

Barclays lowered the firm’s price target on Nabors Industries to $88 from $110 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares as part of a Q3 earnings preview for the energy services group. The firm sees limited downside risk to estimates saying macro concerns, low expectations and a lack of catalysts are well reflected in the group’s “discounted valuations.” With 2025 looking a lot like 2024, outperformance will be dictated by differentiated businesses and themes driving earnings visibility in a low growth market, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
