In other recent news, Weatherford International has experienced several adjustments in its stock price targets by major analyst firms. Piper Sandler lowered its target to $82 due to challenges in Mexico and Russia, which are expected to impact the company’s earnings. The firm maintained a Neutral rating, highlighting a projected decline in international revenue by mid-single digits, although revenue outside these regions may see slight growth. Meanwhile, Benchmark revised its target to $125 from $140, maintaining a Buy rating, noting Weatherford’s improved margins and cash flow, which suggest the stock might be undervalued. Citi also adjusted its target to $90 from $95, keeping a Buy rating, due to a more significant downturn in upstream spending in Mexico and reduced activity in Russia. The analyst noted that these regions are crucial to Weatherford’s revenue and profit margins. Despite these challenges, Citi projects Weatherford’s EBITDA for the first quarter to be $273 million, with a full-year 2025 forecast of $1.18 billion. Additionally, Citi’s previous adjustment to $95 from $110 reflected concerns about declining investments in Mexico and Saudi Arabia, with a continued Buy rating indicating a positive long-term outlook.
