- The company achieved its highest EBITDA in five years for several units, including marine construction and production, and midstream units.
- NOV Inc (NOV) outperformed global rig count declines with its Energy Products and Services segment, driven by efficiency-enhancing downhole technologies and strong demand for drill pipe.
