Investment thesis

SLB has delivered 4 consecutive earnings beats and maintains strong technical support well above its 200-day moving average, but slowing revenue growth, negative price momentum, and thin 4.5% upside headroom leave limited near-term return potential.

About SLB Limited

About SLB Limited

SLB generated approximately 82% of its 2025 revenue from operations outside the United States, reflecting a global footprint organized around five geographic Basins — North America Land, Americas, Europe and Africa, Middle East and North Africa, and Asia — and four technology Divisions: Digital, Reservoir Performance, Well Construction, and Production Systems. The company acquired ChampionX Corporation in 2025 in an all-stock transaction valued at $4.9 billion, issuing 141 million shares.

SLB earns revenue across cloud-based digital subscriptions (Delfi and Lumi platforms), reservoir evaluation and stimulation services, well construction and drilling technologies, and production equipment and chemicals, following the 2025 acquisition of ChampionX's chemistry and artificial lift business. Production Systems includes the SLB OneSubsea joint venture, in which SLB holds a 70% stake alongside Aker Solutions ASA (20%) and Subsea7 S.A. (10%), and the SLB Capturi carbon capture joint venture, 80% owned by SLB alongside Aker Carbon Capture. Primary customers are national oil companies, large integrated oil companies, and independent operators, with no single customer exceeding 10% of consolidated revenue in 2025, 2024, or 2023. SLB's Data Center Solutions business, which designs modular data center infrastructure for hyperscalers, and its New Energy initiatives in carbon capture, geothermal, and critical minerals represent emerging revenue diversification beyond traditional oil and gas services.

Geopolitical concentration risk crystallized in SLB's Russia exposure: the company suspended new investment and technology deployment to Russia in March 2022 and halted product shipments there in July 2023 amid expanding international sanctions, yet Russia still represented approximately 4% of worldwide revenue in 2025, with $0.7 billion in net assets in the country as of December 31, 2025 spanning cash, receivables, and fixed assets. Because the company's revenue is weighted toward international markets, comparable sanctions, expropriation, or political instability in any of its more than 100 countries of operation could disrupt a meaningfully larger share of results than the Russia exposure alone illustrates.
