The successful prediction of NOV stock price could yield a significant profit to investors. But is it possible? The efficient-market hypothesis suggests that all published stock prices of traded companies, such as NOV Inc, already reflect all publicly available information. This academic statement is a fundamental principle of many financial and investing theories used today. However, the typical investor usually disagrees with a 'textbook' version of this hypothesis and continually tries to find mispriced stocks to increase returns. We use internally-developed statistical techniques to arrive at the intrinsic value of NOV based on NOV hews, social hype, general headline patterns, and widely used predictive technical indicators. We also calculate exposure to NOV's market risk, different technical and fundamental indicators, relevant financial multiples and ratios, and then comparing them to NOV's related companies.
