Founded in 1919, Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) is one of the largest providers of products and services to the energy industry in the world.
Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) received a setback this week after Stifel lowered the stock’s price target from $32 to $31, while reiterating a ‘Buy’ rating on its shares. The price cut comes as the oilfield services industry continues to struggle following a slowdown in drilling activity amid choppy crude prices, economic uncertainty, and the impact of President Trump’s tariff war.
As a result, analysts expect Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) to post a 30% drop in profits in its Q2 2025 – the company’s worst decline since 2021.
