Foolish Take
Even after a sharp rally, this move signals that GeoSphere is leaning into a business showing improving fundamentals rather than chasing momentum. For long-term investors, that matters: NESR just delivered sequential net income growth despite a tough operating backdrop, and its balance sheet remains in solid shape. Management also highlighted major contract wins—most notably the massive Saudi Jafurah integrated frac award—which could reshape the company’s growth profile over the next several years.
According to the fund’s latest SEC filing, GeoSphere increased its NESR position by 481,228 shares, lifting the stake to nearly 1.5 million shares valued at $15.3 million. That brings NESR to 11.6% of the portfolio, well above the fund’s other holdings.
While NESR’s third-quarter revenue declined year-over-year, the company preserved profitability: Net income rose 16.7% sequentially to $17.7 million, adjusted EBITDA landed at $64 million with a 21.7% margin. Management also underscored an accelerating pipeline of contract awards and reiterated expectations for stronger operating cash flow in the fourth quarter as collections improve. For long-term investors, the takeaway is straightforward: NESR is volatile, but the company now has visibility into multi-year, large-scale projects that could support earnings durability. If management executes on upcoming infrastructure buildouts and margin discipline, today’s valuation could still offer upside.
