SLB · NYSE · Energy

Fundamental quality

REASONABLE

71

out of 100

Slb Limited earns a fundamental-quality score of 71 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt 0.68× EBITDA). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +8.3%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

SLB (Schlumberger) is the world's largest oilfield-services company: it doesn't extract oil, it sells oil companies the technology, data and equipment to find and extract it. Its fortunes track how much its customers invest in exploration and production.

What will shape its future

  • Oil companies' investment (especially international and offshore), which depends on crude prices.
  • Its technological and digital leadership, which earns it better margins than rivals.
  • The energy transition: a double-edged sword that curbs long-term fossil investment but makes each new barrel more valuable.
