Halliburton (HAL) – Long Setup with Technical & Fundamental Backing

Entry: $41.90
StopLoss: $38.50
Take Profit: $48.80
Risk/Reward: ~1:2.4

Technical View:

HAL is recovering firmly, with an upward trend holding as long as price stays above key support near $40.07.

The stock is consolidating on sustainable volume, poised to target the next major resistance zone around
45.88–48.33, aligning with our TP at $48.80.

Risk is well-defined: Stop Loss sits below recent lows, looking for a clean break above $41.00 with limited downside vs. technical upside potential.

Fundamentals – Financial Health & Latest Earnings Report (Q1 2025):

Revenue:
5.4B(beatconsensus5.28B)

Adj. EPS: $0.60 (in line)

Adj. Operating Margin: 14.5% – showing efficiency despite challenges

Cash Flow:
377M operating CF,124M free CF; used 250M
0.17/share dividend

Debt/Equity: 0.78 (well below 10‑year median of 1.22) – strong balance sheet

Current Ratio: 2.04x; Quick Ratio: 1.51x – healthy liquidity

Management Commentary (CEO Jeff Miller):
Despite a -7% YoY revenue decline and macroeconomic uncertainty, HAL secured key offshore contracts extending beyond 2026. The company expects to return at least $1.6B to shareholders in 2025 via buybacks and dividends.

Risks:

North America revenue down -12%

Lower international revenues from Mexico could pressure near term

Tariff impact may reduce EPS by ~0.02–0.03 in Q2

Trade Thesis:
This is a continuation long supported by improving fundamentals (solid balance sheet, positive cash flow, shareholder returns) and a favorable technical setup (proven support, clear levels). TP at $48.80 is reachable if a confirmed breakout above the current range occurs.
