Baron Emerging Markets Fund made the following comment about Tenaris S.A. (NYSE:TS) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:

"Tenaris S.A. (NYSE:TS) manufactures seamless steel pipe products with large operations in the U.S., Latin America, and the Middle East. Most of its products are oil country tubular goods (OCTG) supplied for the energy industry. Shares increased on an earnings beat generated by higher margins as a result of shortages of OCTG pipe. As one of the lowest-cost OCTG producers, we think Tenaris will be a major beneficiary of the increase in U.S. drilling capital expenditures needed to increase domestic energy security and reduce global reliance on Russian oil and gas."
