What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of HAL's valuation, growth and risks.
On earnings, Halliburton Company (HAL) is valued at 15.13 times, against a median of 18.4 for Energy: broadly in line with peers, with the P/E 17.7% below that median. Measured against sales, the P/S of 1.33 is 46.8% below the sector median of 2.5. The company has a market value of $29.9B and trailing earnings of $2.38 a share.
Margins show a net margin of 8.90% and an operating margin of 12.43%. Return on equity stands at 18.78%, above the sector median of 14.2%. On the balance sheet, debt-to-equity is 0.73, and the trailing dividend yield is 1.88%, or $0.68 per share each year.
HAL's most recent earnings report, dated October 20, 2026, showed EPS of $0.60. Analysts had expected $0.58, so the company beat the estimate by 3.45%. The shares rose 1.19% in the following session.
HAL beat the EPS estimate in 5 of its last 8 reports, yet the stock fell the next session after 1 of those 5 beats. For the current fiscal year, analysts expect EPS of $2.33, a 3.6% decline, and $2.95 for next year.
HAL moves about 1.68% on an average day, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 0.84. The price is 17.02% below its 52-week high of $43.59. Insider activity over the last 18 months shows $42.8M of sales against $169K of open-market purchases. Sales are often planned in advance or made to cover tax on vesting shares, so they are a weaker signal than buying.

- The two nearest levels matter most: the 52-week high at $43.59 above the price, and the 200-day SMA at $35.84 below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 67.9 in the bullish zone, paired with a positive MACD line, describes current momentum. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum in either direction.
- The share price rose 1.19% in the first session after the October 20, 2026 report. HAL has beaten estimates in 5 of the last 8 reports.
HAL trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($34.26 and $35.84), which is what makes the trend up; losing the 200-day would be the first warning. The nearest level under the price is the 200-day SMA at $35.84.
The 52-week high at $43.59 is the next level overhead. The RSI sits in the bullish band, which supports the current direction and sits close to the overbought line.

Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in HAL, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in HAL today could grow to about $10,722 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $35,723 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $3,218. The simulation models price only; at today's 1.88% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
HAL Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $38.78 for HAL by 2030 in the base case, from $36.17 today (1.1x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $11.64. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on HAL's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
