Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) Bolsa, Informe de interés en corto

Halliburton

Halliburton is North America's largest oilfield service company as measured by market share. Despite industry fragmentation, it holds a leading position in the hydraulic fracturing and completions market, which makes up nearly half of its revenue. It also holds strong positions in other service offerings like drilling and completions fluids, which leverages its expertise in material science, as well as the directional drilling market. While we consider SLB the global leader in reservoir evaluation, we think Halliburton leads in any activity from the reservoir to the wellbore. The firm's innovations have helped multiple producers lower their development costs per barrel of oil equivalent, with techniques that have been homed in over a century of operations.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Experts in banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their comprehensive research involves attending company conference calls and meetings, analyzing financial statements, and engaging with insiders to generate what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Gold Gains 1%; Halliburton Posts Weak Q3 Results

Halliburton Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) shares are trading lower after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41801890/halliburton-announces-third-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter results below the street expectations.</a>
HAL reported a third-quarter revenue decline of 1.8% year-over-year to $5.697 billion, missing the consensus of $5.828 billion.
Completion and Production revenue was $3.299 billion, down 5% YoY, and the operating income declined to $669 million, reflecting reduced U.S. pressure pumping and lower tool sales in North America and Europe, partially offset by gains in the Middle East.
Drilling and Evaluation revenue rose 3.5% YoY to $2.398 billion, with operating income at $406 million, supported by higher Latin American drilling, global software sales, and increased Middle East wireline activity, offset by declines in Europe, North America, and Latin America testing.
HAL&#8217;s North America revenue declined 8.5% YoY to $2.386 billion, impacted by reduced U.S. pressure pumping and Gulf hurricane disruptions, partially offset by higher U.S. artificial lift and Canadian/Gulf stimulation activity. International revenue was $3.3 billion, flat sequentially.
Operating income stood at $871 million (-16% YoY), with an operating margin of about 15.3%, down 258 bps YoY. Adjusted operating margin was 17.3%, down 54 bps.
Adjusted EPS was $0.73, down from $0.79 a year ago and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">below the consensus of $0.75.</a>
The company repurchased ~$200 million of its common stock during the quarter. Operating cash flow was $2.41 billion for the nine months ended September, and free cash flow was $1.542 billion. For the quarter, operating cash flow was $841 million, and FCF was $543 million.
&#8220;We experienced a $0.02 per share impact to our adjusted earnings from lost or delayed revenue due to the August cybersecurity event and storms in the Gulf of Mexico. Our full year expectations for free cash flow and cash return to shareholders remain unchanged, and we <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">expect both to accelerate in the fourth quarter</a>,&#8221; commented Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO.
&#8220;I see solid opportunities across business lines and geographies for Halliburton. As we execute on our strategy, we will target opportunities to deliver unique value, allocate capital to the highest return opportunities, and prioritize free cash flow generation and shareholder returns,&#8221; added Miller.
Price Action: HAL shares are down 4.44% at $29.15 at the last check Thursday.
