WFRD Stock Recent News

Weatherford International is now a lean, profitable, and cash-generative oilfield services company, yet it trades at a significant discount to peers despite restored fundamentals. My DCF analysis, using conservative assumptions, values the stock at $82.48—implying 52% potential upside—supported by strong margins, disciplined capital allocation, and recurring free cash flow. Key catalysts include multi-year contracts, digital solutions growth, shareholder returns, and potential credit rating upgrades; risks are sector cyclicality and geographic concentration.

Weatherford's fundamentals show cracks, but its international profile, strong cash position, and refocused business model offer solid long-term prospects. Despite recent share price declines and a junk credit rating, Weatherford remains net income and free cash flow positive, with well-laddered debt maturities and ample liquidity. The company's turnaround post-bankruptcy, focus on efficiency, and global diversification position it well for cyclical resilience and future growth.
