Hornbeck Offshore Services' (HOS) stock has 'totally misbehaved' since the May 28, 2009 buy call at a price of $27.08, but I'm nevertheless reiterating the recommendation. Here's why: The bullish trend in the oil sector should keep Hornbeck's growth story intact, even though day rates for 2009 offshore supply vessels will likely be 15-20% below 2008; in 2010, offshore rates should improve slightly. Meanwhile, capacity utilization should improve in 2010 from the current roughly 80% rate.
