How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 14.9x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: SLB is currently trading at $57.15, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $52.62 to $56.13. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 17.1) compared to its historical average (14.9). At these levels, the market is pricing in 4.8% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, SLB is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $57.59. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation. The stock is showing strong short-term momentum, up 3.2% recently.
