For Halliburton, the model used is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach based on cash flows in $. The latest twelve month free cash flow is about $1.6b. Analysts have provided specific annual free cash flow estimates out to 2030, such as $1.9b in 2026 and $2.851b in 2030. Simply Wall St then extrapolates further years to build a 10 year path of projected cash flows. After discounting those projected cash flows, the DCF model arrives at an estimated intrinsic value of about $77.46 per share. Compared with a recent share price of $33.71, this implies the stock is around 56.5% undervalued on this method. Result: UNDERVALUED Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests Halliburton is undervalued by 56.5%.

It gives you a quick sense of how the market currently values those earnings relative to other companies. What counts as a “normal” or “fair” P/E depends on how the market views a company’s growth prospects and risks. Higher expected growth or lower perceived risk can support a higher multiple, while lower growth or higher uncertainty usually means investors are comfortable with a lower P/E. Halliburton currently trades on a P/E of about 22.01x, compared with an Energy Services industry average of 25.27x and a peer group average of 21.86x. Simply Wall St also calculates a “Fair Ratio” of 22.64x. This Fair Ratio is a proprietary estimate of the P/E that might be reasonable for Halliburton given its earnings growth profile, industry, profit margins, market value and risk factors. It is designed to be more tailored than a simple comparison with peers or the broad industry because it builds in company specific characteristics rather than treating all firms as alike. Compared with the current P/E of 22.01x, the Fair Ratio of 22.64x suggests Halliburton’s P/E is slightly below that model based estimate.

Narratives on Simply Wall St’s Community page let you turn your view of Halliburton into a clear story that links assumptions about future revenue, earnings and margins to a fair value, then compares that fair value with today’s price and keeps it updated as new news or earnings arrive. This is why one Halliburton Narrative can be cautious and anchor around a fair value near US$28.16, while another is more optimistic and centers closer to US$43.78. Both are simply different, structured ways for investors to decide whether the current market price lines up with their own expectations. For Halliburton however we'll make it really easy for you with previews of two leading Halliburton Narratives: 🐂 Halliburton Bull Case Fair value: US$43.78 per share Implied discount or premium vs last close of US$33.71: about 23% discount using this fair value Revenue growth assumption: 5.04% <ul> <li>Analysts in this camp expect Halliburton’s digital tools, automation and international artificial lift footprint to support higher margins and recurring revenue over time.</li> <li>They factor in earnings rising to about US$2.4b by 2028, with profit margins moving higher and the company trading on a future P/E that remains below the Energy Services industry reference multiple.</li> <li>The fair value of US$43.78 reflects higher assumed revenue growth, a higher future P/E and a slightly lower discount rate built into their models, all tied to a constructive view on projects such as data center power solutions and expanded energy infrastructure work.</li> </ul> 🐻 Halliburton Bear Case Fair value: US$28.16 per share Implied discount or premium vs last close of US$33.71: about 20% premium using this fair value Revenue growth assumption: 0.09% <ul> <li>Bearish analysts focus on decarbonization targets, ESG pressures and regulation that could cap long run oil and gas activity and limit Halliburton’s project pipeline and pricing power.</li> <li>Their models assume revenue gradually trends lower, margins slip toward 8.0% and earnings in 2028 are nearer US$1.6b, with a future P/E multiple that sits below the Energy Services industry reference level.</li> <li>The updated fair value of US$28.16 folds in slightly firmer margins and less negative revenue assumptions than before, but still reflects concerns about U.S. land headwinds, valuation risk after recent share price strength and the possibility that enthusiasm around themes like Venezuela proves overdone.</li> </ul> If you want to see how these bullish and bearish Halliburton stories are built from the ground up, including the detailed assumptions behind each fair value, you can review the full Community views for Halliburton, starting with Curious how numbers become stories that shape markets?
