What Happened?
SLB’s central investment debate is whether offshore growth, the ChampionX acquisition, and emerging data-center opportunities can offset Middle East disruptions and weakness in its existing operations. Friday’s results shifted that narrative in SLB’s favor, with shares rising around 11% to trade near $52. SLB generated approximately $9 billion in quarterly revenue, compared with $5.7 billion and a 14% operating margin for Halliburton, while Baker Hughes reported $6.6 billion in its latest quarter but recorded a 7% year-over-year decline in oilfield-services and equipment revenue.
SLB stock rose because its second-quarter earnings and revenue exceeded Wall Street’s expectations, easing concerns that Middle East disruptions would produce a weaker result. Adjusted EPS of $0.55 surpassed the consensus estimate of around $0.51, while revenue increased 5% year over year to $8.97 billion and exceeded the forecast of around $8.7 billion. Reported North American revenue jumped 36%, largely reflecting ChampionX, while Latin American revenue increased 15% and Middle East and Asia revenue fell 14% to $2.57 billion. ChampionX, which added production chemicals and artificial-lift equipment that help producers increase output from existing wells, contributed $870 million. Excluding the acquisition, SLB’s global revenue declined 5%, showing that the recovery in its existing operations remains uneven.
In prepared remarks for Friday’s earnings call, CEO Olivier Le Peuch said, “The market is starting to exhibit the characteristics of an upcycle.” Production Systems, which supplies equipment that helps bring oil and gas to the surface and improve production, increased revenue 7% sequentially to $3.77 billion. Digital, which provides software, artificial intelligence, and automation tools that help energy producers improve drilling and production decisions, increased revenue 9% sequentially to $697 million. Data Center Solutions, which designs and manufactures modular enclosures, cooling systems, and other critical infrastructure for large data centers, increased revenue 80% year over year to $186 million.
Under its base-case outlook, SLB expects third-quarter revenue to increase between 3% and 4% sequentially as Middle East activity gradually recovers. Management also expects fourth-quarter revenue to surpass $10 billion, supported by deepwater activity and typical year-end Digital and product sales. Analysts had become more cautious before the report, with Capital One lowering its price target to $64 from $65, Barclays cutting its target to $64 from $66, and Morgan Stanley reducing its target to $54 from $57. At around $52, SLB trades near Morgan Stanley’s target but remains below the two $64 forecasts, suggesting that the earnings beat strengthened the outlook while the stock already reflects part of the expected recovery.

Is SLB Undervalued?
Under the valuation assumptions, the stock is modeled using:
- Revenue Growth (CAGR): Around 6%
- EBIT Margin: Around 17%
- Exit P/E Multiple: Around 16x
The 6% revenue-growth assumption depends on successful ChampionX integration, sustained deepwater investment, continued Digital and Data Center Solutions expansion, and a gradual recovery in Middle East activity.
The 17% EBIT-margin assumption requires cost savings from ChampionX and a larger contribution from higher-margin Digital, artificial-lift, and production-chemicals businesses.

The 16x exit P/E matches SLB’s one-year average of around 16x and remains below its current next-12-month P/E of around 18x, meaning the model does not require the valuation multiple to increase.
Based on these assumptions, the model estimates SLB stock could reach around $61 over the next two and a half years, implying around 16% total upside from approximately $52, or around 6% annualized upside before dividends.
SLB therefore appears modestly undervalued rather than deeply discounted, with performance through the rest of 2026 likely to depend on offshore activity, ChampionX integration, Digital growth, Data Center Solutions expansion, and the pace of the Middle East recovery.
