SLB (SLB) Wins Fresh Energy Contracts, Is It Still 19% Below Fair Value?
SLB (SLB) secured new energy contracts, including a deal with ExxonMobil and projects in Saudi Arabia and Oman. Its stock has fluctuated, down 12.57% in 30 days but up 25.07% year-to-date. Analysts suggest it's 19% undervalued at $50.28, with a fair value of $62.41, driven by high-margin digital and data center businesses. However, its P/E ratio of 24.1x is above sector average, potentially limiting upside.
