Halliburton reported fourth-quarter 2025 earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, demonstrating resilience despite a slight year-over-year profit decline. The company posted a net profit of $589 million, or $0.69 per share, which was a 4% decrease from the $615 million, or $0.70 per share, earned in the same quarter of 2024. Net revenues, however, increased by 1% to $5.66 billion from $5.61 billion. These results outperformed Wall Street projections of $0.55 per share in earnings and $5.41 billion in revenue.

International Performance Drives Results

The company's strong performance was primarily fueled by its international operations. International revenue for the quarter reached $3.5 billion, driven by higher sales of completion tools in key regions including Brazil, the Caribbean, the North Sea, and Asia. This robust international performance was attributed to a winning collaborative value proposition, effective technology, and business growth engines aligned with market evolution.

Softness in North America

In contrast, revenue in North America decreased to $2.2 billion. This decline was attributed to lower onshore stimulation activity in both the United States and Canada, reflecting softer market conditions in the region.

Strategic Outlook and Confidence

Despite the regional challenges, leadership expressed confidence in the overall business outlook. The expectation is that North America will be the first region to respond positively when broader market fundamentals improve. The company's strategy is viewed as delivering differentiated results, positioning Halliburton to capitalize on future growth opportunities and deliver leading returns.
