Baron Funds Comments on Core Laboratories NV

Core Laboratories N.V. (CLB) is a technology-focused oilfield services and equipment company with the majority of its revenues generated outside the U.S. Shares came under pressure in the fourth quarter due to worse- than-expected third quarter operating results and fourth quarter guidance and rising concerns about the impact that lower oil prices would have on future customer capital investment. Lower oil prices are resulting in reduced earnings expectations for Core as drilling and completion activity is expected to fall sharply in 2015. (Jamie Stone)
