NOV Q3 2026: Offshore production FID acceleration and international unconventional ramp drive $1.5B EBITDA path with growing conviction
NOV delivered $2.23 billion in Q3 2026 revenue and $281 million in adjusted EBITDA, with both segments expanding margins sequentially as operational efficiency gains and favorable mix offset Middle East logistics headwinds. The most consequential signal is the acceleration of offshore FPSO FIDs in 2026, which management expects to convert into materially stronger bookings in 2027 and 2028, consistent with a documented multi-quarter lag from sanction to equipment procurement. The fiberglass systems business — NOV's primary composites-relevant operation — achieved its fourth consecutive quarter of book-to-bill above 100% with backlog up 30% year-over-year, driven by oil and gas market demand and record fuel handling product sales.
