The recent developments surrounding Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) highlight conflicting perspectives. While it is considered undervalued by 28% to 31% according to intrinsic calculation, and there are reports of Halliburton's best profit in 12 years, its performance when compared to market falls short at times. The company has achieved high returns on its capital, and despite some underperformance, there are optimistic expectations for its earnings. The strength in international markets that Halliburton is witnessing is expected to continue, although the North American outlook appears flat.
HAL's recent financial shows increased dividend and its Q1 2024 earnings even surpassed expectations. However, questions over its trade with Russia, rejection over executive compensation, and a larger dip in its stock compared to the general market raise concerns. Halliburton’s stance on innovation was highlighted with the launch of Diskos 2.0 and inauguration of advanced tech for wellbore isolation. The alliance with Nabors for well construction and securing deepwater well contract in Namibia signal efforts to bolster its position. Yet, the market views are divided on whether the stock is a good buy or not.
