Schlumberger
About: SLB is the world's premier oilfield-services company as measured by market share. While the industry is mostly fragmented, SLB holds the first or second competitive position in many of the differentiated oligopolies it operates in. Also known as Schlumberger, the company was founded in 1926 by two brothers bearing the same last name. Today it's most known as a global industry leader in innovation, while it focuses its strategy on its three growth engines: its core, digital, and new energy businesses. Over three fourths of its revenue base is tied to international markets, while the company boasts roughly $3 billion in digital-related revenue.

Schlumberger Shifts The Tone To Digital And Enhanced Oil Recovery
I reiterate my buy rating on Schlumberger with a $40.80 price target, citing relative undervaluation versus peers despite macro uncertainty. The ChampionX acquisition expands SLB's US presence in chemicals and digital capabilities, offering synergy potential and positioning for enhanced oil recovery trends. Segment performance is mixed, with Well Construction and Reservoir Performance lagging, but Digital & Integration and Production Systems supporting growth.

Dividend Harvesting Portfolio Week 232: $23,200 Allocated, $2,467.76 In Projected Dividends
The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio rebounded strongly, with profitability up 8.06% and total dividend income now at 19.77% of invested capital. I remain bullish on the S&P 500 reaching 7,000 this year, driven by strong corporate earnings, AI productivity, and a likely lower rate environment. Recent additions to the portfolio—BMY, SLB, and AGNC—reflect my focus on undervalued, high-yield opportunities poised to benefit from rate cuts.

Schlumberger: Cash Flowing Through The Cycle Bottom
SLB generates ample cash flow even at what appears to be the cyclical low for energy services. The shareholder returns cover the downside while waiting for the cycle to turn around. The ChampionX acquisition, which finally closed, could be a positive catalyst due to synergies and the stable earnings profile of the acquired business.
