- Earnings Per Share Forecast: Expected EPS is 55 cents, down from 70 cents last year, reflecting challenges in profitability, although the company has beaten estimates in five of the last ten quarters.
- Analyst Rating Upgrades: Following a double beat in Q3, analysts have raised Halliburton's price targets, with Piper Sandler increasing from $29 to $30 and TD Cowen from $38 to $39, indicating market confidence in its future performance.
