The consensus price target for Halliburton has experienced some shifts over the past year. Last month and last quarter, the average price target was $21.5, while a year ago, it was higher at $24.5. This $3.00 decrease suggests analysts have become more conservative in their expectations, possibly due to market conditions or company-specific challenges.

In the third quarter of 2025, the company reported a net income of $18 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. When adjusted for impairments and other charges, the net income was $496 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, an improvement from the second quarter's $472 million, or $0.55 per diluted share.
Halliburton's total revenue for the third quarter reached $5.6 billion. Analyst Charles Minervino from Susquehanna has set a price target of $48 for Halliburton, indicating a more optimistic outlook compared to the consensus. This suggests that while some analysts are cautious, others see potential for growth.
Investors should consider these financial results and analyst opinions when evaluating Halliburton's stock. The company is set to host a conference call on October 21, 2025, to discuss its third-quarter financial results. This event may provide further insights into the company's performance and future prospects.
