What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of SLB's valuation, growth and risks.
SLB N.V. (SLB) trades at a P/E of 26.22, against an Energy sector median of 18.4. That makes the P/E a premium to peers, and it sits 42.5% above the median. On sales, the P/S of 2.16 is 13.6% below the sector median of 2.5. For scale, the company has a market value of $79.3B and trailing earnings of $2.06 per share.
On profitability, SLB posts a net margin of 8.40% and an operating margin of 12.05%. Return on equity is 11.66%, below the sector median of 14.2%. The balance sheet carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.47, and the trailing dividend yield is 2.18%, or $1.17 per share each year.
SLB beat expectations in its October 23, 2026 report by 4.92%, posting EPS of $0.64 against the $0.61 analysts had estimated. Investors responded in kind, and the stock rose 0.04% in the session that followed.
SLB beat the EPS estimate in 5 of the 6 reports in our data, but beats have not guaranteed gains: the stock fell the next day after 2 of them. Analysts' average EPS estimate for this fiscal year is $2.44, which would be a decline of 16.7%, and $3.15 for next year (growth of 29.0%).

- The two levels to keep an eye on are the 52-week high at $60.46, just above the price, and the 50-day SMA at $52.48, just below it.
- With the 14-day RSI at 61.5 in the bullish zone and the MACD line positive, momentum looks constructive. Readings above 70 or below 30 are the points where momentum is considered stretched.
- The share price rose 0.04% in the first session after the October 23, 2026 report. SLB has beaten estimates in 5 of the 6 reports in our data.
SLB trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($52.48 and $51.46), which is what makes the trend up; losing the 50-day would be the first warning. The nearest level under the price is the 50-day SMA at $52.48.
SLB's next level overhead is the 52-week high of $60.46. The RSI is in the bullish band, which backs the current direction without the stock looking stretched.

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 SLB, 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 SLB today could grow to about $10,398 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $29,918 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $3,614. The simulation models price only; at today's 2.18% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
SLB Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $55.88 for SLB by 2030 in the base case, from $53.74 today (1.0x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $19.42. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on SLB's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $31.99 | $54.27 | $92.05 | |
| 2028 | $25.96 | $54.80 | $116 | |
| 2029 | $22.16 | $55.34 | $138 | |
