SLB Q2 Beat Fuels Upside as International Activity Rebounds

Aug 2, 2026, 9:00 AM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Positive Q2 performance and upside from international activity could drive multiple expansion; the reiterated Buy with a higher target from a top bank adds credibility, while a modest dividend supports price stability in a volatile macro environment. However, Middle East risk remains a macro overhang, capping unless activity recovers decisively.
