A Fresh Look at SLB (NYSE:SLB) Valuation Following New Multi-Year E.ON Deal

SLB (NYSE:SLB) just announced a finalized multi-year service agreement with E.ON, set to provide about 24 million SEK in revenue beginning January 2026. This deal highlights SLB’s growing pipeline and strengthened contracted earnings base.

See our latest analysis for SLB.

SLB’s recent multi-year agreement adds another win to a year marked by some notable volatility. While the share price is currently at $35.19, the 1-month share price return of nearly 5% contrasts with a steeper 12-month total shareholder return of -17.7%. This hints that momentum is building off a low base. The stock’s long-term returns remain solid, but the current recovery phase shows investors are weighing renewed growth potential against recent weakness.

If the latest contract news has you thinking about what else is on the move, this is a great chance to uncover fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With SLB trading well below analyst targets despite a recent rebound, the central question is whether the current market is underestimating its growth prospects or if future gains are already fully reflected in the price.

Most Popular Narrative: 22.4% Undervalued

With SLB closing at $35.19 and the most popular narrative calculating a fair value near $45.37, the gap between market price and analyst projection is clear. Here is a key section from the narrative itself that underpins this perspective on upside potential.

Persistent industry demand for digital transformation, automation, and efficiency, driven by operator focus on production optimization and recovery, has led to strong adoption and double-digit year-over-year growth in SLB's digital business (notably the DELFI platform). This bolsters net margins and creates a more stable, higher-margin recurring revenue stream.
