Weatherford: A High-Margin Cash Machine Still Trading At A Discount
Weatherford International is now a lean, profitable, and cash-generative oilfield services company, yet it trades at a significant discount to peers despite restored fundamentals. My DCF analysis, using conservative assumptions, values the stock at $82.48—implying 52% potential upside—supported by strong margins, disciplined capital allocation, and recurring free cash flow. Key catalysts include multi-year contracts, digital solutions growth, shareholder returns, and potential credit rating upgrades; risks are sector cyclicality and geographic concentration.

Weatherford International: Upside From Oil And Gas, But Look At Peers
Weatherford's fundamentals show cracks, but its international profile, strong cash position, and refocused business model offer solid long-term prospects. Despite recent share price declines and a junk credit rating, Weatherford remains net income and free cash flow positive, with well-laddered debt maturities and ample liquidity. The company's turnaround post-bankruptcy, focus on efficiency, and global diversification position it well for cyclical resilience and future growth.

Weatherford International has significantly improved post-bankruptcy, boasting a solid balance sheet and leading technological innovations, positioning it well for potential economic slowdowns. The company's focus on solutions businesses has enhanced margins, making them comparable or superior to peers. Weatherford's valuation is extremely low, with significant upside potential; I initiate a Strong Buy rating with a $100/share target.
