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

Oilfield Services: “Down But Not Out” After a Tough Year 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 (West Texas crude has been trading around the low-$60s reuters.com), 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 slowdown gurufocus.com. Industry-wide, rig counts fell and profit margins tightened, prompting talk of an extended slump for oilfield service

Occidental Petroleum’s Big Deal with Berkshire & What’s Ahead: Stock Performance, News and Analysts’ View (October 2 2025)

Occidental Petroleum Primed for Action Monday: Berkshire Deal, Oil Trends & Analyst Outlook Unpacked

Latest Stock Price & Premarket Movement Friday’s close at $41.20 stockanalysis.com left Occidental near the lower end of its recent trading range (roughly $40–46 in the past month chartmill.com).

Given OXY’s recent vol and current price, any meaningful gap either way could be triggered by oil

BREAKING: Exxon Sues California, Citing ‘Free Speech’ in Climate Lawsuitreuters.comtimesunion.com

ExxonMobil Premarket Report (Nov 3, 2025): Q3 Beat, Analysts Bullish, But Oil Soft

In-Depth Analysis: ExxonMobil’s Q3 beat confirms its resilience. The company posted adjusted earnings of $8.1 B ($1.88/sh), topping analysts’ $1.82 estimate reuters.com. However, higher capital spending (e.g. Permian acreage buys) drove free cash flow down from last year, a point noted by TPH analyst Jeoffrey Lambujon: “higher expenditures counteracted what was otherwise positive earnings news” reuters.com. Still, the core business is firing on all cylinders – Guyana and Permian field outputs set records, and refining margins were strong enough that analysts estimate refining alone added up to $700 M of Q3 profit reuters.com. Exxon’s upstream earnings ($5.7 B in Q3) rose vs Q2,
