This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB) has garnered mixed opinions from analysts, with many recognizing its strong fundamentals and digital operations. The company has a solid recurring revenue stream of $1 billion, highlighting its potential for consistent growth. Some experts believe that underinvestment in oil has created long-term opportunities, particularly as demand for energy rises. Despite recent performance gains, including a notable 26% increase in January, there are concerns about the sustainability of this energy rally, especially with fluctuating oil and natural gas prices. The upcoming earnings report is pivotal, as new contracts from Venezuela could provide an edge, though a low oil price environment may limit exceptional results.

COMMENT
The star of the oil service business. He doesn't expect them to report a strong quarter next week, but the rig count has been rising. Overall, he considers oils trades, not investment stocks.
DON'T BUY
The rise in oil prices helps and SLB could bounce...but what a mess. SLB reports next week.
DON'T BUY

The oil landscape has drastically changed in the past decade. The Saudis were the swing producer before; now it's the Americans. We also have competing sources of energy, namely wind and solar. That said, oil won't go away for decades. He owns fewer oil stocks (he sold Haliburton), but holds onto names like Suncor and Parex, which should do better than an oil service name like SLB.

SHORT
SLB-N is trading flat despite beating earnings recently. He actually has a small short on this one. The valuation is not compelling, trading at 15 times cash flow and only 6% ROE. They need to see day rates improving.
COMMENT
He can't forecast price targets for any oil stock, given so many factors like e-cars. Play oil seasonally, not long term. Dec. 14-April 30 is seasonality. This is setting up well. SLB is a loser this year and will be busy during tax-loss selling. It's resisting its 200-day moving average. He wouldn't buy until it breaks above that. Short-term support is $30, but can it run ahead?
BUY
A blue chip oil stock, one of the biggest oil and gas services company, and they used a lot of high technology. But they've fallen victim to the entire depressed oil space. This is an opportunity now. He knows the oil sector very well, having worked as an engineer at Chevron for years; he prefers smaller-cap stocks for their leverage, but SLB will do well when oil stocks recover.
DON'T BUY
The largest oil service company. It is great to own when you think energy is going higher. Not the right timing now however.
DON'T BUY
An international company and probably the best global energy service company out there. She is just not into the energy sector in general right now. The retracement in oil prices back into the $50s is again problematic for the energy space. She is on the sidelines with energy producers and service providers.
DON'T BUY
There have been so many times where you would have been tempted to buy into weakness. The oil services space has been crushed. He would stay a hundred miles away from this. He has focused more into the midstream side of the energy space.
BUY
Lots of volume at its low levels with huge churn. He likes it. It's consolidating around $44. Set a $42 exit point. No resistance until $60. Good upside to downside potential.
HOLD

Remain the highest-quality player in oil and gas service but not as exposed to offshore drilling and fracking which may be why they're being hit these days. If you hold, don't panic. If not, maybe don't buy now. Current price targets will fall.

HOLD

He thinks the stock appears to be going sideways and there does not seem to be any indication it will break out of the range.

COMMENT

Largest oil service company in the world. Generally, tracks how oil and gas exploration is doing. Probably decent value now.

DON'T BUY

He prefers not to take the company specific risk. He prefers OIH-N. SLB-N is extremely well run. It is making up a lot of lost ground at this point. He prefers E&P. The XLE-N is another ETF to consider.

COMMENT

Sell Halliburton (HAL-N) and buy Schlumberger (SLB-N) to avoid the superficial tax loss? This is one way of doing it. The rule is that you can't buy back the same security within 30 days. He prefers Halliburton.
