Expro initiated with an Overweight at Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo initiated coverage of Expro (XPRO) with an Overweight rating and $12 price target The company generates 80% of its revenue from the international market and 70% from the offshore market, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that compared to many small-cap capital oilfield service companies, Expro possesses very modest U.S. onshore exposure. Lower 48 state production growth will likely be limited in coming years while international, and especially offshore, production growth opportunities increase, contends Wells. It believes Expro is well positioned for this opportunity.
