Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, UBS, BofA and others have all lifted SLB price targets, pointing to what they see as supportive conditions for oilfield services and opportunities where they think share prices do not fully reflect fundamentals.
Bernstein raised its target to US$56.10 while updating its model after SLB flagged lower than expected 1Q26 revenue, and still framed the backdrop for oil services as very supportive on its estimates.
Evercore ISI upgraded SLB to Outperform with a higher US$54 target, arguing that the ChampionX acquisition and reduced APS exposure make the outlook clearer and shift the company toward well head and production with what the firm sees as a lower risk profile.
Susquehanna and BofA lifted targets into the low US$50s, citing group level expectations where their longer term EBITDA views for oilfield services have moved closer to or above prior consensus.
Freedom Capital cut SLB to Hold with a US$47 target, arguing that recent strength in U.S. oil and gas equities reflects what it calls euphoria around Venezuela exposure that does not match its view of sector fundamentals.
TD Cowen trimmed its SLB target to US$55, flagging concern that some stock moves tied to Venezuela related headlines may be overdone, even as it still sees valuation support across parts of the oilfield group.
