The case for and against

Updated Sep 8, 2026

Bull case

Weatherford International is expected to see growth in international projects due to increased investments and a new strategic direction to reduce capital intensity. However, there is a potential risk in earnings and a decline in revenue in 2025. The company has strong leadership with a focus on sustainability and improved financial metrics, aided by board member Ms. Mutschler, who has a track record of success at Antero Resources. The company's optimized portfolio and strong financial performance suggest promising outlook for investors.

Bear case

Weatherford International is highly dependent on the Middle East/North Africa/Asia region for its revenue, which accounts for 43% of sales. Furthermore, potential political and social risks in this region pose a significant threat to the company's financial performance. Additionally, the company's high levels of exposure to non-US operations make it vulnerable to changes in global trade policies and tariffs. Given its weaker relative leverage, limited exposure to US land activity, and uncertainty in the MENA region, Weatherford may struggle to outperform its peers in the current oil market climate.
