About Schlumberger Stock (NYSE:SLB)

Schlumberger is an international oilfield services company with facilities in many countries worldwide. Founded in 1926 in Paris, France, by brothers Conrad and Marcel Schlumberger, it is currently the world's largest offshore drilling company and the most significant offshore drilling contractor in revenue. Schlumberger Limited was incorporated in 1956 as a holding company and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1962.

Schlumberger is a Fortune Global 500 company, listed in Forbes Global 2000, and has a 33-acre campus in Sugar Land, Texas. In 1981, Schlumberger became the first international company to link computers with email, and in 1983, the company opened its Cambridge Research Center in Cambridge, England. 

In 2005, Schlumberger purchased Waterloo Hydrogeologic and relocated its U.S. corporate office from New York to Houston. It has since made numerous acquisitions, including Smith International in 2010, a deal valued at $11.3 billion. In 2010, Schlumberger acquired Geoservices in a deal valued at $1.1 billion. In 2014, Schlumberger purchased the remaining shares of SES Holdings Limited (Saxon). Schlumberger agreed to acquire oilfield equipment manufacturer Cameron International in 2015 for $14.8 billion. 

As a global provider of technology, integrated project management and information solutions, Schlumberger supplies the petroleum industry with services such as formation evaluation, seismic data processing, well cementing and stimulation, well testing and directional drilling, artificial lift, low assurance and consulting, well completions and software and information management. Schlumberger is at the forefront of the industry with its carbon capture and storage industries and its continued investment in geothermal and hydrogen power. 

Schlumberger has had environmental and legal issues, including a radioactive canister recovered in the Western Australian outback in 2006. Schlumberger was also a contractor on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Despite these issues, Newsweek ranked Schlumberger 118 out of 500 in 2009. 

In 2021, Schlumberger made news with the announcement of pilot project agreements between critical industry leaders and the French state. They also made news headlines due to a report of 21,000 layoffs, accounting for 15% of the company's workforce due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

As an established player in the oilfield services industry, Schlumberger looks poised to continue to expand its presence in the industry and further its mission of providing innovative solutions to the world's energy challenges.

Should I Buy Schlumberger Stock? SLB Pros and Cons Explained

Pros

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Schlumberger Limited:

  • Schlumberger Limited has recently introduced innovative technology solutions in the oil and gas industry, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs for energy companies. This could lead to increased demand for their services and potentially higher revenue.
  • The current stock price of Schlumberger Limited is showing signs of stability and potential growth, making it an attractive option for investors looking for value opportunities in the market. This stability could provide a good entry point for long-term investors.
  • With a strong global presence and a history of successful partnerships, Schlumberger Limited is well-positioned to capitalize on the recovery of the oil and gas sector, offering investors exposure to potential industry growth and profitability.
  • As a leader in oilfield services, Schlumberger Limited has a diverse portfolio of products and services, providing investors with a well-rounded investment opportunity in the energy sector. Diversification can help mitigate risks associated with fluctuations in specific market segments.
  • Schlumberger Limited has a solid track record of dividend payments, offering investors a source of passive income while holding the stock. Dividends can be a key factor for investors seeking consistent returns and long-term wealth accumulation.

Cons

Investors should be bearish about investing in Schlumberger Limited for these reasons:

  • The oil and gas industry is inherently cyclical, and Schlumberger Limited's financial performance is closely tied to the fluctuations in oil prices. Economic downturns or geopolitical events impacting oil prices could negatively affect the company's revenue and profitability.
  • Increased competition in the oilfield services sector could put pressure on Schlumberger Limited's market share and pricing power, potentially leading to margin compression and reduced profitability for the company. Investors should closely monitor competitive dynamics in the industry.
  • Regulatory changes and environmental concerns surrounding the oil and gas sector could pose risks to Schlumberger Limited's operations and future growth prospects. Investors need to consider the evolving regulatory landscape and its potential impact on the company's business operations.
  • Foreign exchange fluctuations can impact Schlumberger Limited's financial performance, especially given its global operations. Currency risks could affect the company's revenue and earnings, making it important for investors to assess and manage currency exposure.
  • Technological advancements and shifts in energy consumption patterns could disrupt the traditional oil and gas industry, posing challenges for companies like Schlumberger Limited. Investors should stay informed about industry trends and innovations to evaluate the company's long-term sustainability.
