BofA Securities analyst Saurabh Pant initiates coverage on National Energy Services Reunited (NASDAQ: NESR) with a Buy rating and a price target of $21.00.

The analyst comments "Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region is investing aggressively to more fully exploit its Oil & Gas resources. We believe M-E upstream spending is at an all-time high & is set to grow low/mid-single digit-% YoY in 2026/27E. Note NESR gets 99% of its revenue from MENA; and 80-85% from the Middle East alone. With Saudi reactivating rigs (c40 rigs have got resumption notices) & UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq pushing their own development plans, we expect MENA to offer meaningful growth opportunities for NESR. We initiate coverage with a Buy rating and DCF-based PO of $21 (implies 6.1x / 5.3x our 2026 / 27E EBITDA). We see upside from 1) Jafurah ramp-up through YE26, 2) upside opportunity in Kuwait, & 3) our expectation of NESR initiating shareholder distributions by mid-2026."
