WFRD Stock Forecast & Price Target
WFRD Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Weatherford International is projected to experience significant growth in its financial metrics, with revenue from the Middle East expected to increase by 5% as the company capitalizes on recently awarded contracts. The firm anticipates a 200 basis point improvement in EBITDA margins over the next three years, despite a potentially flat operating environment, highlighting strong operational efficiency. Additionally, the expected doubling of share repurchase activity by 2024, coupled with continuous improvements in free cash flow and margins, reinforces a fundamentally positive outlook for the company's stock.
Bears say
Weatherford International's stock is currently trading 50% below its long-term average EV/EBITDA multiple, despite its recent high margins and free cash flow, indicating a disconnect between the company's performance and market valuation. Projections for 2025 suggest a significant 20% decline in revenues from Latin America due to budget resets by PEMEX, accompanied by expected EBITDA margin contractions across various segments. Additionally, the company's dependency on letters of credit and potential losses from fixed-price contracts—exacerbated by rising raw material costs and negative sentiment in capital markets—pose considerable risks to its financial stability and profitability.
