BULLISH
On Nov 2, Halliburton announced the launch of its Agile Asset Management (AAM) platform, an AI‑powered, cloud‑based solution designed to streamline capital investment decisions in the oil and gas sector. The platform integrates subsurface data, well information, facility details, and economic workflows, allowing companies to compare development alternatives against corporate metrics and make traceable, data‑driven choices. Halliburton said the proprietary AI would reduce decision times and improve investment outcomes. On the same day, the company also disclosed the acquisition of Norwegian software firm KeyStone, a deal closed on Nov 2 with financial terms not disclosed. KeyStone’s technology is intended to enhance Halliburton’s digital well construction capabilities, streamlining planning and execution of well construction projects and potentially reducing costs. The acquisition was described as supporting Halliburton’s strategy to strengthen its digital offerings in the upstream sector. Both developments were reported as positive steps in Halliburton’s growth trajectory.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into HAL?

CHEAP

At today's price, Halliburton Company needs to grow free cash flow about 2.3% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 7.83% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at 9.1% a year, so the market is asking for 6.8 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis HAL looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
52%

Halliburton Company is currently running 35.4% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against HAL's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 57th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 33.0%.

HAL is trading -55.6% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -36.7%, and the deepest was -81.4% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began, and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -8.2% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 40th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year HAL closed higher on 52% of sessions, and it is currently 6 sessions into a falling streak.

On November specifically: over 13 years of records, HAL finished the month higher 6 of 13 times, with a median return of -3.0% and an average of +0.7%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +4.2% on average, its weakest March at -3.5%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: HAL has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 166 of 3,268 sessions (5.1% of the time), with the largest gaps running +11.4% and -12.9%.

Across the last 4 dated reports on file, HAL moved an average of 1.3% in the session after earnings, closing higher 3 of those 4 times, with a median move of +1.1% and a largest of +2.4%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against HAL's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
