Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

What: Shares of oil services provider Superior Energy (NYSE: SPN) were too slick for investors today, dropping as much as 11% following a cut in 2012 guidance.

So what: Though second-quarter profits of $0.83 per share came in slightly ahead of estimates, Superior reeled in its full-year EPS outlook about 20% to between $2.75 and $3.05. Analysts had expected earnings of $3.08 a share. CEO David Dunlap cited lower oil and gas prices affecting customer cash flows and demand for his company's services.

Now what: Even with the scaled-back guidance, this stock looks like a good value trading at a P/E of about 7.5 of 2012's expected earnings. A heavy debt burden from its acquisition of Complete Production Services may have investors thinking this is a value trap, though. With net income of $141.9 million on $1.24 billion in revenue last quarter in a period with difficult macroeconomic conditions, the company should be able to pay down its debt if it can control capital expenditures. Look for energy prices to guide shares in the near future. With such a low valuation, this could be a coiled spring if commodity prices rise significantly.
