Companies that find and produce oil and gas rely on Halliburton for services and equipment. Its work covers drilling fluids, well design and evaluation, cementing, hydraulic fracturing and other well completion and production services. The firm operates through two main divisions, one focused on completing and producing wells and one on drilling and evaluation. Customers are oil and gas producers, including international, independent and national oil companies, in North America and many other regions.
Revenue comes from charges for services, equipment and software that producers use at the wellsite, so activity levels in oil and gas drilling matter to the business. Sales were $22.4 billion over the last twelve months, up 3.0% a year over the last three years. The operating margin is 11.4%, and the business earns a profit of 12% on the capital invested in it. Net debt is 1.4 times EBITDA. The dividend yield is 2.0%. On the site's X-Ray Score it receives 53 out of 100.

Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies that hold large long-term investments). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.
Fair value estimate
$38middle half of models $32 – $42
Fair+15.1% to fair value
Average of the 15 valuation models that pass our checks: multiples, discounted cash flow, dividend discount and earnings power value. A model more than 100% above or 60% below the price is left out as unrealistic. Model uncertainty is High, based on how far apart the models are. Undervalued or Overvalued means the gap to fair value is more than 17.5%.
Peak-cycle earnings: the current operating margin is more than 1.5x its 7-year average, so multiples applied to today's profit may overstate value; model uncertainty is set to High

SWOT analysis: Halliburton Co
Strengthsinside the company
Free cash flow equals 6.2% of the market value, which funds dividends, buybacks or debt paydown.
Operating profit covers interest 50x, so debt costs are a small drag.
Weaknessesinside the company
Operating margin of 11.4% is thin against 23.1% for sector peers.
Opportunitiesvaluation and setting
Dividends use only 33% of free cash flow, which leaves room to raise them.
Our Market Compass rates the backdrop for Energy as favourable.
Threatsvaluation and setting
Revenue growth slowed to -3.3% last year from 3.0% a year over three years.
Valuation uncertainty is high: the models give widely different values, so the fair value range is wide.
Earnings in Oil & Gas Equipment & Services follow the industry cycle, so margins and profits can swing from year to year.

Sector leaders: highest X-Ray Score in Energy
HAL ranks #6 of 20 in Energy by X-Ray Score. A higher score is stronger on our five pillars; it is a ranking of facts, not a forecast.
Green means better than the peer median, red worse (only where a higher or lower figure is clearly better). A dash means too few companies report the figure. P/E, EV/EBITDA and price changes are not graded: a different level is not good or bad by itself.

These ratings compare companies with each other and describe the past; they are not a forecast, a recommendation or part of the X-Ray Score. A factor is left out when its data is missing or meaningless (for example a P/E on negative earnings). A dash in the history columns means fewer than three usable years.

Signals describe what the chart is doing, not what to do. Moving averages: price above the average is bullish. Oscillators use the usual thresholds (RSI 30/70, Stochastic 20/80, CCI ±100, Williams %R −80/−20; MACD and momentum above zero are bullish). Weekly and monthly views use closing prices only.
