While the SWS DCF model suggests National Energy Services Reunited is trading at a large discount to an estimated future cash flow value of $69.76 per share, the current P/E of 43.4x looks expensive compared with the US Energy Services industry at 25.3x, the peer average at 40.3x, and a fair ratio of 30.6x.
