WFRD Stock Forecast & Price Target
WFRD Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Weatherford International is projected to see significant growth in share repurchase activity, potentially doubling in 2024, which can enhance shareholder value. The company's international revenues, excluding Mexico and Russia, are expected to increase by 2-3% in 2025, with Middle East revenue anticipated to grow by 5% as new contracts are executed. Furthermore, improvements in EBITDA margins by 200 basis points over the next three years, alongside delivering the highest margins and free cash flow in its history, reinforce a positive fundamental outlook for the company.
Bears say
Weatherford International's stock is currently trading significantly below its long-term average EV/EBITDA multiple, despite achieving record-high margins and free cash flow, indicating a disconnect between market perception and operational performance. The company faces impending revenue declines, particularly in Latin America, where a projected 20% drop in revenues in 2025 due to budget resets at PEMEX could adversely impact profitability. Additionally, challenges related to rising raw material costs, the dependence on letters of credit for customer funding, and the potential erosion of market share due to technological stagnation further contribute to a negative outlook for Weatherford's financial stability.
