Incannex Healthcare stock tumbles after filing $100M offering
On Wednesday, Citi analyst Scott Gruber adjusted the price target for Oceaneering International (NYSE:OII), a provider of engineered services and products to the offshore energy industry, to $24.00, up from the previous target of $22.00. Despite this increase, the firm maintained a Neutral rating on the company’s shares. Currently trading at $22.01 with a market capitalization of $2.22 billion, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is fairly valued, with a P/E ratio of 15.15 and a notably low PEG ratio of 0.29.
Gruber’s updated price target followed a recent meeting with Oceaneering International to discuss market trends. The company expressed confidence in its ability to maintain roughly the same year-over-year utilization rates for its remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Additionally, they anticipate continued pricing improvements, although at a potentially slower pace than in previous years. This outlook aligns with the company’s recent performance, showing revenue growth of 9.75% over the last twelve months.

Oceaneering International also expects its Subsea Robotics (SSR) business to remain relatively shielded from the challenges faced by offshore drillers in 2025, often referred to as "whitespace" issues. This optimism is partly due to the company’s involvement with seventh-generation drilling rigs and specific long-term contracts in Brazil.
Despite the company’s strong market position, Citi forecasts a slight decrease in ROV utilization for fiscal year 2025, predicting a utilization rate of 66%, which is a slight drop from the 67% forecasted for fiscal year 2024. The anticipated decrease is attributed to the potential risks associated with the company’s significant market share and industry whitespace.
In addition to ROV services, Oceaneering International is also expected to see improvements in its Manufactured Products (MP) segment. The company is optimistic about enhancing margins in this area due to better pricing in its backlog and increased operational efficiencies. Citi’s forecast for the MP segment’s EBIT margins in fiscal year 2025 is 10%, which would mark an approximate 240 basis point increase year-over-year.
The revised price target reflects these discussions and the company’s outlook, as well as the analyst’s expectations for Oceaneering International’s financial performance in the coming years. With an overall Financial Health Score of ’GOOD’ from InvestingPro, and EBITDA of $349.71 million in the last twelve months, the company maintains a solid financial position despite its relatively modest gross margin of 18.24%.
