On July 2, SLB declined 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $45.10/share, with turnover of $388 million. The decline came as Citi Group cut its price target on SLB from $68 to $63 on July 1, representing an approximately 7.4% reduction, while maintaining its Buy rating. The downgrade reflects a more cautious near-term earnings outlook for the company.

Despite the target cut, the broader analyst consensus on SLB remains constructive. FactSet data shows the average analyst rating stands at Overweight with a mean price target of $62.52, implying roughly 39% upside from the current level. The sector saw widespread selling pressure, with peers Baker Hughes down 2.98%, Halliburton down 2.53%, Technipfmc down 2.32%, Weatherford International down 2.02%, and Solaris Energy Infrastructure down 9.36%.

Fundamentally, SLB continues to secure new contracts, including a seven-year deal with Kuwait Oil Company announced June 30, and recently projected its digital segment adjusted EBITDA could double to $1.8–2.0 billion by 2030. The company reports Q2 earnings on July 24, with consensus EPS estimates at $0.52.
