About: Halliburton is North America's largest oilfield service company as measured by market share. Despite industry fragmentation, it holds a leading position in the hydraulic fracturing and completions market, which makes up nearly half of its revenue. It also holds strong positions in other service offerings like drilling and completions fluids, which leverages its expertise in material science, as well as the directional drilling market. While we consider SLB the global leader in reservoir evaluation, we think Halliburton leads in any activity from the reservoir to the wellbore. The firm's innovations have helped multiple producers lower their development costs per barrel of oil equivalent, with techniques that have been homed in over a century of operations.

I'm Convinced Energy Is The Most Misunderstood Investment Opportunity Of The Decade
I focus on big, long-term trends and dedicate energy to sectors with tremendous value, even if they're temporarily out of favor. Earlier this year, defense contractors were extremely undervalued, but patient investors have since been rewarded as the market recognized their strengths.

3 Oil Stocks That Could Surge Soon
High-quality oil stocks like Schlumberger, Halliburton, and Devon Energy have seen significant declines but likely bottomed in early April. Oil prices are unlikely to stay depressed, with potential for a substantial move higher by 2026 as market dynamics and political factors shift. Saudi Arabia's need for higher oil prices and anticipated Fed rate cuts should support a rebound in oil prices and sector equities.
