SLB Set To Acquire ChampionX, Return $7 Bln To ShareholdersNYSE:SLB , formerly known as Schlumberger, has announced plans to acquire ChampionX ( NASDAQ:CHX ), a leading provider of chemistry solutions and drilling technology. The acquisition, coupled with a substantial $7 billion shareholder return plan, signals SLB's commitment to driving growth and delivering value to its investors in the years to come.
The all-stock transaction, unanimously approved by ChampionX's board of directors, will see ChampionX shareholders receiving 0.735 shares of NYSE:SLB common stock for each NASDAQ:CHX share they own. Upon completion of the deal, ChampionX shareholders will own approximately 9% of SLB's outstanding common stock, underscoring the scale and significance of the acquisition.
Houston-based SLB anticipates significant synergies from the merger, with annual pretax benefits of approximately $400 million expected in the first three years post-closing. These benefits will be derived from a combination of revenue growth and cost savings, further enhancing SLB's competitive position in the market.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and the green light from ChampionX shareholders, with NYSE:SLB aiming to finalize the deal before the end of 2024. Additionally, SLB has announced plans to return $7 billion to shareholders over the next two years, reaffirming its commitment to maximizing shareholder value and enhancing returns.
Goldman Sachs has expressed confidence in SLB's prospects, adding the stock to its Conviction List and maintaining a buy rating. This move reflects the firm's bullish outlook on SLB's growth trajectory and strategic initiatives.
The acquisition of ChampionX follows SLB's recent agreement to purchase a majority stake in Aker Carbon Capture, further expanding its portfolio and strengthening its position in the energy sector. With ACC set to own 20% of the combined entity, SLB's acquisition strategy is aimed at bolstering its capabilities and diversifying its offerings to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
On the stock front, NYSE:SLB saw a slight easing of 1% following the announcement, while ChampionX shares surged by 10.4%. Both companies have been consolidating since early 2023, with SLB's stock showing a promising trajectory towards a potential breakout point. With West Texas Intermediate oil prices trading above $85 for the first time since October, the industry outlook appears favorable, providing a tailwind for SLB's growth prospects.
As NYSE:SLB embarks on this transformative journey, the acquisition of ChampionX and the robust shareholder return plan underscore the company's vision and commitment to driving sustainable value creation. With a solid foundation and a strategic focus on innovation and efficiency, SLB is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities and deliver long-term value for its shareholders.
Shlumberger - SLB LongA failed dragon turned into a beautiful falling 3 drives pattern with bullish divergence all happening at a long respected demand line.
Easy trade to size up risk on, again never know what will happen.
Unfortunately this is one again that we took and posted in the community two weeks ago. It would be equitable now if you played it to the high or third target.
Schlumberger's Stellar Performance in 2023: Key Highlights
Schlumberger Limited (NYSE: NYSE:SLB ), a world-renowned oilfield services provider, has concluded a remarkable year, surpassing analysts' estimates for quarterly profit and showcasing robust growth in its international business. Despite geopolitical uncertainties and regional tensions, NYSE:SLB 's CEO, Olivier Le Peuch, remains optimistic about the company's future prospects. Let's delve into the key highlights of SLB's impressive fourth-quarter and full-year performance.
Global Expansion and International Growth:
Schlumberger's success in recent years can be attributed to the rising demand for its oilfield services and equipment, particularly in international markets. The company has experienced substantial growth in regions such as the Middle East, Angola, and Central and East Africa, driven by increased oil exploration and production activities.
In the face of geopolitical challenges, including the conflict in Gaza and attacks on ships in the Red Sea, NYSE:SLB has demonstrated resilience. The company reassures investors that it does not anticipate a significant impact on its Middle East business, emphasizing its commitment to sustained growth in the region.
Record Investment Levels and Geographic Opportunities:
NYSE:SLB anticipates record investment levels in the Middle East extending beyond 2025, underlining the company's strategic focus on this vital market. Additionally, opportunities for continued offshore activity are identified in key regions such as Brazil, West Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Le Peuch's optimistic outlook positions Schlumberger as a global leader with a proactive approach to capitalizing on emerging opportunities.
Financial Highlights:
Schlumberger reported robust financials for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2023. Quarterly revenue increased by 8% sequentially and 14% year on year, reaching $8.99 billion. Full-year revenue showed a remarkable 18% year-on-year growth, totaling $33.14 billion. Notably, the acquisition of a subsea equipment business contributed significantly to the quarter's sequential revenue gain.
The company's CEO highlighted the impressive growth in earnings per share (EPS), excluding charges and credits, which increased by 10% sequentially and 21% year on year, reaching $0.86 in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margins also achieved another cycle high, showcasing the company's operational efficiency.
Strategic Moves and Shareholder Returns:
In a move that demonstrates confidence in its financial position, Schlumberger announced a 10% increase in its quarterly cash dividend, now standing at $0.275 per share. The company also plans to boost share repurchases in 2024, signaling its commitment to delivering value to shareholders.
Conclusion:
Schlumberger's exceptional performance in 2023 solidifies its position as a resilient and forward-thinking player in the oilfield services sector. Despite challenges in the global landscape, the company's strategic initiatives, robust financial results, and optimistic outlook on key markets position it for continued success in the years to come.

SLB Oil Double Top forming? The red line shows a lower high followed by a subsequent decline which is approaching the neckline of a double bottom formation.
If the neckline (dotted yellow) breaks then the theory goes that the decline should be equal to the distance between the peak and trough of the high and the neckline, as labelled on the chart by the profit target.
The decline could go on for a while but this price is closely tied to the price of oil so expect volatility, and in particular watch out for the earnings call - as a rule I do not want to be short during earnings call because the possible gap ups the next day can be devastating and take you way past your stop loss.
I'd enter my short at option 1 (diagonal neckline) or more conservatively option 2 across the horizontal break, and ideally only when the close is below the neckline, but its a matter of preference, some people prefer to trade the wick and short as soon as price crosses. I've been burned a fair few times on those false crosses so prefer to trade the close these days.
If the neckline doesn't break, well start looking for long entries...
