Alger Capital made the following comment about Core Laboratories N.V. (NYSE:CLB) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Core Laboratories N.V. (NYSE:CLB) is a unique oil services company that provides reservoir description and production enhancement services and products to the oil and gas industry. These services and products enable Core Laboratories’ clients to improve performance and increase resource recovery from producing fields. Shares underperformed during the quarter even though the company’s production enhancement segment-with its outsized exposure to domestic activity-reported strong results. However, the reservoir description segment-which is more reliant upon international activity (both onshore and offshore)-has recovered more slowly. The company’s global rig count, which has historically been a leading indicator of future reservoir description activity, has improved recently, giving us confidence in the business’s longer-term fundamentals.”
