What: Shares of oil-field service and equipment provider RPC
So what: There were rumors swirling that Patterson-UTI
Now what: This rumor has already been put to rest for today, but this may be a good time to reevaluate RPC's shares. The company's unconventional oil drilling business is its current driver and may be attractive to potential buyers or long-term investors right now. Unconventional oil plays are hot in the U.S., and RPC's shares are trading at just 7 times forward earnings, a great price in this market.
I have enough confidence to give the company a green thumb on My CAPS board in a bet the company will outperform the market.
