Description: NOV NOV

NOV Inc. (formerly National Oilwell Varco) is a global provider of systems, components, and products serving the oil and gas drilling and production industry, along with industrial and renewable energy markets. Founded in 1862 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company operates through two segments: Energy Equipment and Energy Products and Services. Its offerings span drill bits, downhole tools, completion equipment (including frac plugs and sleeves), artificial lift systems, drilling rigs (land and offshore), tubular goods, subsea solutions, processing/separations equipment, and pumps used across the upstream, midstream, and renewable energy value chains.

The company is classified within the GICS Energy sector, specifically the Oil & Gas Equipment & Services sub-industry, and trades as a mid-cap stock on the NYSE. Its diversified product portfolio-covering drilling rigs, capital equipment for hydraulic stimulation and coiled tubing, marine construction, and composite pipe-positions it as a broad-based supplier to energy operators and industrial customers rather than a pure-play services contractor.
