Halliburton's fourth-quarter 2024 earnings report highlighted international growth offsetting a decline in North America. This international expansion is a key driver for the company's revenue growth, despite challenges in the North American market.

Analysts have adjusted their forecasts following Halliburton's first-quarter results. Stifel reduced its stock price target to $32 from $37, while Barclays lowered its target to $26 from $29. These adjustments reflect concerns over the company's performance and the broader energy market conditions.

Halliburton's first-quarter earnings met estimates, but revenues exceeded forecasts. However, the company's CEO noted ongoing trade challenges and their impact on the business. The company also outlined its growth engines for 2025, including the adoption of Zeus IQ, a digital platform aimed at enhancing operational efficiency.

Despite these challenges, Halliburton remains focused on international growth and technological advancements to navigate the current market pressures. The company's strategic initiatives and international expansion efforts are expected to play a crucial role in its future performance.
