Key Ratios (approximate)

  • P/E: ~14x (FY26E EPS ~$3.50) | EV/EBITDA: ~7.5x | FCF Yield: ~5%
  • Revenue Growth (FY25): flat (transitional with ChampionX)
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin: ~26%
  • Dividend Yield: ~3.5% | Buyback Yield: ~5%+
  • Net Debt / EBITDA: ~1.0x (conservative)

Growth Profile

FY25 was a transitional year for SLB:

  • ChampionX acquisition closed July 16; partial-year contribution ($1.46B)
  • Well Construction segment declined -11.2% on rig count weakness
  • Production Systems +9.7% (incl. ChampionX)
  • Q4 FY25 revenue $9.75B (+4%) showed momentum building into FY26

The 2026 setup:

  • ChampionX full-year contribution adds ~$1.8B of incremental revenue (FY26 vs. FY25)
  • $400M synergy target ramping by Year 3
  • International + offshore deepwater spending accelerating (Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, Petrobras, BP, Shell capex commitments)
  • Analyst-expected "multi-year deepwater boom" starting late 2026
  • $4B+ commitment to capital return (dividends + buybacks)

The structural thesis: SLB is the highest-quality oilfield services company with deliberate international + offshore tilt and digital + AI moats. As the global oil cycle tilts toward deepwater + LNG + NOC capex expansion (vs. US shale stagnation), SLB outperforms.

Forward Estimates

FY2026 Consensus:

  • Revenue: ~$38–40B (+5–10% with ChampionX full-year)
  • Adjusted EPS: ~$3.50–3.80 (+8–18% with ChampionX synergies)
  • FCF: ~$4B+
  • Capital Return: $4B+

Bull case: Multi-year deepwater boom materializes; ChampionX synergies exceed $400M; Saudi Aramco + ADNOC capex accelerates; digital adoption (Lumi AI) drives premium pricing; multiple expands to 17x P/E; stock could reach $70+. Bear case: Oil prices retreat to $55-60 Brent; international capex pauses; ChampionX integration disappoints; multiple compresses to 12x P/E; stock stays at $40-45. Consensus targets ~$58–65 vs. trading ~$44–48 (~25–35% implied upside; Wall Street median $59.50).
