Halliburton shares climbed 2% after the company reported better than expected results for the fourth quarter. The oilfield services firm showed strength despite tough market conditions.
The company posted adjusted earnings of $0.69 per share for the quarter. Analysts had expected $0.55. Revenue came in at $5.7 billion. This was higher than the forecast of $5.41 billion.
For the full year, revenue dipped slightly. Halliburton reported $22.2 billion for 2025, compared to $22.9 billion in 2024.
CEO Jeff Miller said he was pleased with how the company closed the year. He said Halliburton exceeded its own expectations and that its strategy continues to deliver strong results.
International markets helped lift performance. Revenue outside North America rose 7% sequentially to $3.5 billion. This helped offset weakness at home.
North America revenue fell 7% to $2.2 billion. In contrast, Latin America revenue increased 7%. Europe, Africa, and CIS performed even better, with revenue jumping 12%.
The Completion and Production segment stayed flat at $3.3 billion in revenue. However, operating income in this segment rose 11% to $570 million.
The Drilling and Evaluation segment also saw steady revenue of $2.4 billion. Operating income there improved by 5% to $367 million.
Overall, the results reassured investors that Halliburton can still perform well even as parts of the energy market remain under pressure.
