Liked their conference call where they told you what was going wrong. Will pop if there's a flare-up in the Middle East.

Earnings beat, but revenues miss. She sighs. Shares rallied into the print. EBITDA was good and free cash flow beat expectations. Digital was up 25% YOY. Trades at only 12x forward PE, the best oil services stock.

They report Friday. Shares haven't rallied despite the bounce in oil prices.

Best of breed, but shares have not gone up along with oil prices.

SLB vs. HAL

Neither. Look at the 10-year charts, both lower today than 10 years ago. When flush with money, make acquisitions; then when things turn nasty, take write downs. Result is less than zero value creation for shareholders. The only people making money are the executives.

Their quarter disappointed, though he likes the company. Even Haliburton did better. He prefers Cotera.

A good company, but shares have run up a lot. Wait for a pullback.

He keeps an eye on it and likes it. Keeps watching it. Prefers them a little to HAL. But he won't buy it because of the oil/has sector.

BUY
Schlumberger Ltd.

Last Friday they reported a slight top and bottom line beat with revenue up 14% YOY and free cash flow up 167% YOY. Strength lies in their international business, with 10 straight quarters of double-digit growth. Guidance was encouraging, though they seldom say much, driven by this international business. Also, they raised their dividend 10% and will increase buybacks, which will absorb their higher-than-expected capex.

She sold Chevron to buy more SLB, which is the #1 player in oil field services. Traeds at 17x forward PE. They raised guidance three times this year, yet shares haven't moved. Their technology is not appreciation.

DON'T BUY
Schlumberger Ltd.

World's largest oil drilling company. Fundamentally the company scores 6/10. Revenue slowing. Stock price also has a downward trend. Would wait for stock trend to reverse before buying. Company also has cut dividend in the past 10 years. Better options available for investors.

TOP PICK
Schlumberger Ltd.
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

SLB represents the "pick and shovels" of the energy industry, involved in building infrastructure.  Earnings recently beat analyst expectations as US revenues grew despite reduced drilling activity in several key regions.  It trades at 18x earnings and supports a 22% ROE.  We recommend placing a stop-loss at $47, looking to achieve $63 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 1.7%
