Houston, Texas-based Halliburton Company (HAL) is one of the world’s largest oilfield service providers, providing a variety of equipment, maintenance, and engineering and construction services to the energy, industrial, and government sectors. The company has a market capitalization of $29 billion and operates through the completions and production, and drilling and appraisal segments.
Companies with a market cap of $10 billion or more are usually called “large-cap stocks.” Halliburton Inc. fits into this category, with a market cap in excess of this range, reflecting significant size and influence in the oil and gas equipment and services industry.
HAL stock hit a 52-week high of $37.03 on March 02, and is down 4.6% from that high. The stock has gained 21.7% over the past three months, outperforming the Nasdaq Composite ($NASX), which has declined 4.1% over the same time frame.
For a long time, the scenario remains the same. HAL is up nearly 42% over the past 52 weeks, compared to the NASX’s 29.9% return over the same period.
Meanwhile, HAL has been trading above its 200-day and 50-day moving averages since last year, indicating bullish momentum.
Amid geopolitical pressures and concerns about disruptions to global oil supplies, energy stocks have found renewed investor interest — and Haliburton has been one of the beneficiaries. As oil markets tighten, exploration and production companies increase drilling activity to secure supplies, increasing demand for oilfield services where Haliburton plays an important role.
The company’s strong operating performance also supported the rally. Over the past year, Halliburton has delivered strong results driven by flexible global operations, disciplined cost control, and a continued focus on returning capital to shareholders. Notably, the company has been paying dividends since 1972, reinforcing its longstanding shareholder-friendly approach.
Investor confidence also strengthened following the release of Halliburton’s Q4 2025 earnings on January 21. The company reported revenue of $5.7 billion, slightly higher for the year and ahead of Wall Street expectations, while adjusted EPS estimates of $0.69 were also raised, helping to lift the stock.
