Forward Guidance
NOV believes post-pandemic global economic recovery will spur further top-line growth. In the meantime, government-mandated shutdowns continue to disrupt global supply chains, limit raw material availability, and pose challenges for our workforce. NOV did a better job navigating these headwinds in the second quarter, while continuing to advance the Company’s leading-edge technology offerings for the oilfield and renewables markets. NOV’s portfolio of newly-developed technologies positions the Company well to take advantage of what we believe is the beginning of a multi-year growth market for both conventional and clean energy technologies.
