Trump’s Venezuela Oil Move Sends Chevron, Refiners Jumping as Crude Holds Steady

Halliburton’s Big Comeback? Why Experts Say Oil Services Are ‘Down But Not Out’ in 2025

Halliburton’s Big Comeback? Why Experts Say Oil Services Are ‘Down But Not Out’ in 2025

Halliburton, one of the world’s top oilfield services companies, has faced a challenging environment in 2025. U.S. shale producers cut back on drilling budgets as oil prices slipped, and international projects largely stalled. This downturn hit Halliburton’s North America-centric business hard – the company even slashed its 2025–26 earnings forecasts by up to 25% earlier in the year amid the shale slowdowngurufocus.com. Industry-wide, rig counts fell and profit margins tightened, prompting talk of an extended slump for oilfield service providers. However, recent analysis suggests the worst may be over. In a new report, analysts at Rothschild & Co Redburn contend that the sector is near an earnings trough, not a dead-endinvesting.com. They point to several signs of a coming rebound. Global oil demand remains on an upward trajectory, and the natural decline rates of existing oil fields are accelerating – meaning producers will soon need to invest in new wells just to maintain outputinvesting.com. At the same time, national oil companies are expanding capacity, which should kickstart a new upstream investment cycle in the next couple of yearsinvesting.com.

Halliburton Stock Rockets on Q3 Earnings – Oil Sector Trends & Analyst Outlook

Halliburton Stock Rockets on Q3 Earnings – Oil Sector Trends & Analyst Outlook

Halliburton’s October 21 Q3 earnings release blew past analyst forecasts, reinvigorating the stock. The oilfield services firm earned just $0.02 per share but $0.58/share adjusted, beating the $0.50 consensusmarketbeat.com. Third-quarter revenue was $5.60 billion, slightly above Wall Street’s $5.39B estimatemarketbeat.com. CEO Jeff Miller underscored the quarter’s achievements: “We delivered total company revenue of $5.6 billion and adjusted operating margin of 13%. We also took steps that will deliver estimated savings of $100 million per quarter, reset our 2026 capital budget and idled equipment that no longer meets our return expectations,” he saidmarketscreener.com. These cost-cutting and efficiency measures were a major theme – the company has $400M in annual savings planned from streamlining. The strong results were driven by steadier North American oilfield activity and equipment sales. Halliburton noted robust completion tool sales and well stimulation in the U.S. and Canada, which offset weak drilling in parts of the Middle East/Asiareuters.commarketscreener.com. Still, management said its differentiated technology offerings are winning new work overseashalliburton.comegyptoil-gas.com.

  • Ford (F) Slips as Recalls Weigh on Stock, Quality Scores Up
    June 29, 2026, 5:54 PM EDT. Ford Motor Company shares slipped 0.7% to $14.02, lagging behind the S&P 500's 1.7% jump and a 2.4% rise in Consumer Discretionary stocks. The automaker's J.D. Power initial-quality score improved 21% to 152 problems per 100 vehicles, leading mass-market brands, but investors saw little lift with 51 recalls so far this year. The average analyst price target is at $14.78, around 5% above where the stock now trades, with most analysts stuck at Hold. The split reaction signals many doubt recent quality gains are enough to outweigh recall issues.
