It might be of some concern to shareholders to see the Nabors Industries Ltd. (NYSE:NBR) share price down 25% in the last month.

But that doesn’t change the fact that the returns over the last five years have been pleasing. Its return of 75% has certainly bested the market return! In light of the stock […]

MasTec, Inc. (NYSE:MTZ) shareholders might understandably be very concerned that the share price has dropped 46% in the last quarter.
