SLBThe Digital Engine Accelerates:
The digital business has been reported as a separate segment for the first time, highlighting its strategic priority. In Q3 2025, Digital revenue grew 11% quarter-over-quarter, with an operating margin exceeding 28%. Management forecasts this segment's EBITDA margin to reach 35% by year-end.
The annual business run-rate is approaching $2.5 billion, ~ $1 billion of which is recurring (subscription-based) revenue. Platforms like Delfi and Lumi (AI) are becoming industry standards.
Strategic Acquisitions and Synergies:
The acquisition of ChampionX (completed July 2025) strengthens the company's position in the less cyclical production and reservoir optimization business. The deal is already adding over $500 million to quarterly revenue and is expected to deliver $400 million in annual synergies within three years.

CVX: The Perfect Storm (Macro Catalyst + Massive Channel)The news cycle is obsessed with the politics of the US & Venezuela, but the smart money is focused on the supply chain.
I created this chart to visualize how a massive fundamental catalyst (The Flags) is colliding with a decade-long technical structure (The Channel).
1. The Fundamental Catalyst (The Flags 🇺🇸🇻🇪) While the headlines are about "deals," the reality for the energy sector is about Market Access. Chevron ( NYSE:CVX ) is the primary US major with the "keys to the kingdom"—active OFAC licenses and operational Joint Ventures on the ground.
The Moat: While competitors are years away from navigating new contracts, CVX has a "Turnkey" advantage. The infrastructure is there. The pipes are connected.
The Shift: This opens the door to immediate heavy crude reserves for US Gulf Coast refineries, a massive tailwind for margins.
2. The Technical Structure (The Blue Channel)
📉 Politics is noise; Price is truth. Look at the geometry in the chart:
The Channel: Price has respected this massive Blue Ascending Channel for years. It defines the institutional trend.
The Coil: We have been compressing in a tight Triangle Consolidation (white lines) right at the breakout point.
The Target (TP Circle) : If we break out of this triangle, the standard technical measured move targets the upper rail of the channel. This aligns with the "TP" zone marked on the chart, projecting a move toward "Blue Sky" territory.
3. The Verdict Rarely do you see a "Perfect Storm" where a Macro Event (Venezuela reopening) aligns this cleanly with a Technical Setup (Triangle Breakout). The structure suggests the market is pricing in a "Supercycle" return for American energy access.
👇 The "Venezuela Reconstruction" Watchlist:
If the Venezuela thesis plays out, it's not just Chevron that moves. Here is the basket of related Energy, Services, and Refining stocks I am tracking for this cycle:
Majors: NYSE:CVX , NYSE:COP
Services (Boots on the Ground): NYSE:SLB , NSE:HAL , AMEX:OIH
Refiners (Heavy Crude Beneficiaries): NYSE:VLO , NYSE:MPC , NYSE:PSX , NYSE:DINO , NYSE:PBF
Sector ETF: AMEX:XLE
Which of these is your top pick for the reconstruction trade? Let me know in the comments!

SLB: Bounce Loading or Basement Dive?After tagging my target around $60, SLB (Schlumberger) has been chillin’ in consolidation mode for a while now. We’re sitting on a solid support zone, and honestly, the odds of a bounce look better than a full-on dump here. Textbook vibes too—Fibo 0.618 lands right around $31, which lines up perfectly if this is where it decides to base out.
If we do get the bounce, next stop could be in the $90–$95 range. 🚀 On the flip side though… if this thing keeps bleeding, we might not see a floor until the $20–$22 area.
I’ve got a position, so here’s to hoping we take the high road! 🤞Good luck out there!

SLB Set To Acquire ChampionX, Return $7 Bln To ShareholdersNYSE:SLB , formerly known as Schlumberger, has announced plans to acquire ChampionX ( NASDAQ:CHX ), a leading provider of chemistry solutions and drilling technology. The acquisition, coupled with a substantial $7 billion shareholder return plan, signals SLB's commitment to driving growth and delivering value to its investors in the years to come.
The all-stock transaction, unanimously approved by ChampionX's board of directors, will see ChampionX shareholders receiving 0.735 shares of NYSE:SLB common stock for each NASDAQ:CHX share they own. Upon completion of the deal, ChampionX shareholders will own approximately 9% of SLB's outstanding common stock, underscoring the scale and significance of the acquisition.
Houston-based SLB anticipates significant synergies from the merger, with annual pretax benefits of approximately $400 million expected in the first three years post-closing. These benefits will be derived from a combination of revenue growth and cost savings, further enhancing SLB's competitive position in the market.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and the green light from ChampionX shareholders, with NYSE:SLB aiming to finalize the deal before the end of 2024. Additionally, SLB has announced plans to return $7 billion to shareholders over the next two years, reaffirming its commitment to maximizing shareholder value and enhancing returns.
Goldman Sachs has expressed confidence in SLB's prospects, adding the stock to its Conviction List and maintaining a buy rating. This move reflects the firm's bullish outlook on SLB's growth trajectory and strategic initiatives.
The acquisition of ChampionX follows SLB's recent agreement to purchase a majority stake in Aker Carbon Capture, further expanding its portfolio and strengthening its position in the energy sector. With ACC set to own 20% of the combined entity, SLB's acquisition strategy is aimed at bolstering its capabilities and diversifying its offerings to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
On the stock front, NYSE:SLB saw a slight easing of 1% following the announcement, while ChampionX shares surged by 10.4%. Both companies have been consolidating since early 2023, with SLB's stock showing a promising trajectory towards a potential breakout point. With West Texas Intermediate oil prices trading above $85 for the first time since October, the industry outlook appears favorable, providing a tailwind for SLB's growth prospects.
As NYSE:SLB embarks on this transformative journey, the acquisition of ChampionX and the robust shareholder return plan underscore the company's vision and commitment to driving sustainable value creation. With a solid foundation and a strategic focus on innovation and efficiency, SLB is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities and deliver long-term value for its shareholders.

Schlumberger's Stellar Performance in 2023: Key Highlights
Schlumberger Limited (NYSE: NYSE:SLB ), a world-renowned oilfield services provider, has concluded a remarkable year, surpassing analysts' estimates for quarterly profit and showcasing robust growth in its international business. Despite geopolitical uncertainties and regional tensions, NYSE:SLB 's CEO, Olivier Le Peuch, remains optimistic about the company's future prospects. Let's delve into the key highlights of SLB's impressive fourth-quarter and full-year performance.
Global Expansion and International Growth:
Schlumberger's success in recent years can be attributed to the rising demand for its oilfield services and equipment, particularly in international markets. The company has experienced substantial growth in regions such as the Middle East, Angola, and Central and East Africa, driven by increased oil exploration and production activities.
In the face of geopolitical challenges, including the conflict in Gaza and attacks on ships in the Red Sea, NYSE:SLB has demonstrated resilience. The company reassures investors that it does not anticipate a significant impact on its Middle East business, emphasizing its commitment to sustained growth in the region.
Record Investment Levels and Geographic Opportunities:
NYSE:SLB anticipates record investment levels in the Middle East extending beyond 2025, underlining the company's strategic focus on this vital market. Additionally, opportunities for continued offshore activity are identified in key regions such as Brazil, West Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Le Peuch's optimistic outlook positions Schlumberger as a global leader with a proactive approach to capitalizing on emerging opportunities.
Financial Highlights:
Schlumberger reported robust financials for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2023. Quarterly revenue increased by 8% sequentially and 14% year on year, reaching $8.99 billion. Full-year revenue showed a remarkable 18% year-on-year growth, totaling $33.14 billion. Notably, the acquisition of a subsea equipment business contributed significantly to the quarter's sequential revenue gain.
The company's CEO highlighted the impressive growth in earnings per share (EPS), excluding charges and credits, which increased by 10% sequentially and 21% year on year, reaching $0.86 in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margins also achieved another cycle high, showcasing the company's operational efficiency.
Strategic Moves and Shareholder Returns:
In a move that demonstrates confidence in its financial position, Schlumberger announced a 10% increase in its quarterly cash dividend, now standing at $0.275 per share. The company also plans to boost share repurchases in 2024, signaling its commitment to delivering value to shareholders.
Conclusion:
Schlumberger's exceptional performance in 2023 solidifies its position as a resilient and forward-thinking player in the oilfield services sector. Despite challenges in the global landscape, the company's strategic initiatives, robust financial results, and optimistic outlook on key markets position it for continued success in the years to come.
