Risk appetite surged on Wall Street at the end of the week, with investors ramping up stock purchases ahead of Monday's market closure for Martin Luther King Day, which is also when Donald Trump will be sworn in as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the 47th U.S. president.</a>
All major indices posted robust gains in midday trading, setting up for their strongest weekly performance since early November. Broad-based buying lifted every sector into the green, underscoring the strength of the rally.
Adding to the positive mood, the Israeli Security Cabinet approved a ceasefire deal with Hamas <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43055426/oil-dips-as-israeli-security-cabinet-approves-gaza-ceasefire-yet-experts-warn-red-sea-risks-persist">in Gaza</a>, leaving final government approval as the last step before the agreement takes effect on Sunday.
Chipmaker Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) soared 8.9%, marking its biggest single-day jump since August 2024. The rally was fueled by rumors that the company could be a takeover target. 
Treasury yields edged higher but remained on track for steep weekly declines, following a softer-than-expected December inflation report that eased concerns over aggressive Federal Reserve policy.
The U.S. dollar rose 0.3% on Friday but is still slightly lower for the week, potentially snapping a six-week winning streak.
Gold prices steadied after Thursday's strong rally, while oil prices extended their decline as ceasefire efforts gained traction.
Cryptocurrency sentiment surged, driven by speculation that the incoming Trump administration could announce the creation of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43062518/2025-to-see-dogecoin-etf-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-microstrategy-of-ethereum-predicts-crypto-hedge-fund">a Bitcoin Reserve Fund.</a> Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) was up 5% to over $105,000.

SLB Posts Upbeat Results, Joins Bank OZK, Qorvo And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Friday

Schlumberger N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) shares are trading higher after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43052124/slb-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results-increases-dividend-and-initiates-2-3-billi" rel="noreferrer noopener">better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2024 results</a>.
Revenue grew 3% year over year to $9.28 billion, beating the consensus of $9.18 billion.
North America rose 7%, driven by growth in offshore activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and higher Asset Performance Solutions revenue in Canada, despite lower drilling activity in U.S. land.
International revenue improved 3% year-over-year, while revenue in&nbsp;Latin America&nbsp;declined&nbsp;3%&nbsp;sequentially, driven primarily by reduced drilling activity in Mexico.
Adjusted EPS increased 7% to 92 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">above the consensus of 90 cents.</a>
Revenue by Division: Digital &amp; Integration $1.156 billion (+10% Y/Y); Reservoir Performance $1.81 billion (+4% Y/Y); Well Construction $3.267 billion (-5% Y/Y), and Production Systems $3.197 billion (+9% Y/Y).
Adjusted EBITDA was $2.382 billion for the quarter, an increase of 5% Y/Y, and margin expanded 33 bps to 25.7%. The pretax segment operating margin contracted by 12 bps for the quarter to 20.7%.
Operating cash flow for the fiscal totaled $6.602 billion compared to $6.637 billion a year ago, and free cash flow was $3.99 billion.
For the quarter, cash flow from operations was $2.39 billion, and free cash flow was $1.631 billion.
Dividend: SLB declared a quarterly cash dividend increase of 3% to $0.285 from $0.275 per share, payable on April 3, 2025, to stockholders of record on February 5, 2025.
In the quarter, SLB repurchased 11.8 million shares for $501 million, totaling 38.4 million shares for the year. On December 20, 2024, SLB initiated $2.3 billion in accelerated share repurchase transactions, with 80% of shares delivered by January 13, 2025. This positions the company to increase total return to shareholders from $3.3 billion in 2024 to a minimum of $4 billion in 2025.
&#8220;With the anticipated completion of our announced acquisition of ChampionX, we are set to further strengthen our production and recovery capabilities, enabling us to deliver even greater value to our customers. This strategic acquisition will also enhance the resilience of the SLB portfolio, providing some stability against the cycles in the years to come,&#8221; commented SLB Chief Executive Officer Olivier Le Peuch.
&#8220;SLB remains committed to expanding EBITDA margins, generating strong cash flows, and increasing returns to shareholders,&#8221; Le Peuch concluded.
Price Action: SLB shares are trading higher by 1.90% at $41.87 premarket at the last check Friday.

Insights From Analysts
As Donald Trump moves to the White House on Monday, Dec. 20, Robin Brooks, the ex-Goldman Sachs FX Strategist and a senior fellow at Brookings Institution <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/articles/china-tariffs-and-trump-2-0/">said</a> the tariff confrontation between the U.S. and China could prove detrimental to the S&amp;P 500.
China's most &#8220;potent weapon&#8221; is the depreciation of the yuan as an offset to additional U.S. tariffs. This could negatively impact the U.S. economy, potentially tightening financial conditions and weighing on the S&amp;P 500, Brooks said in his research note.
Even though the new administration may seek to mitigate this by implementing targeted tariffs or a phased-in, conditional universal tariff, he said, &#8220;Given how little is priced, it seems likely that market volatility will rise in the months ahead.&#8221;
Highlighting the corporate earnings in 2025, Callie Cox, the chief market strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management, said in an X post &#8220;All 11 sectors are expected to report growing profits, which would be the first time that&#8217;s happened since 2018.

SLB surges after Q4 earnings beat, dividend hike and stock buyback

Schlumberger Limited (SLB) Q4 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

The energy sector offers value due to rising global demand, focus on energy security, market growth, regulatory support, technological advancements, and increasing oil and gas prices. Therefore, in this dynamic backdrop, it may be wise to consider undervalued energy stocks: Schlumberger (SLB), VAALCO Energy (EGY), and Obsidian Energy (OBE), which offer significant upside potential. Read more... Despite global climate action, coal, oil, and gas continue to dominate as global energy demand rises. Geopolitical tensions in Ukraine, Gaza, and U.S.-China relations have heightened the focus on energy security. Hence, this presents an opportunity to consider undervalued energy stocks: Schlumberger Limited (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SLB/">SLB</a>), VAALCO Energy, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/EGY/">EGY</a>), and Obsidian Energy Ltd. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/OBE/">OBE</a>), offering significant upside potential.
The gradual shift from fossil fuels keeps oil and gas pivotal to the global economy. Expected to grow at a <a href="https://www.thebusinessresearchcompany.com/report/oil-and-gas-global-market-report">4.9% CAGR</a>, the market could reach $9.89 trillion by 2029, driven by resource exploration and government support. Moreover, key trends include emission reduction, digital technologies, reservoir modeling, increased drilling investments, and industry alliances for advanced solutions.
Likewise, the Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) market is projected to grow from $105.91 billion in 2025 to $190.69 billion by 2030, at a <a href="https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/energy-as-a-service-market">12.5% CAGR</a>. This growth is driven by the increasing adoption of distributed energy solutions in commercial and industrial sectors, regulatory support for energy efficiency, and rising energy demands from a growing population prioritizing sustainable solutions.
Furthermore, oil demand is projected to grow from 840 kb/d in 2024 to 1.10 mb/d in 2025, reaching <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-december-2024">103.90 mb/d</a>, while colder winters are expected to boost natural gas consumption. U.S. Henry Hub natural gas prices are forecasted to rise from $2.20/MMBtu in 2024 to <a href="https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/natgas.php#:~:text=We%20expect%20natural%20gas%20inventories%20to%20be%202%25%20above%20the,is%20flat%20compared%20with%204Q24.">$3.00/MMBtu in 2025</a>. With these favorable trends, let's dive into the fundamentals of the three highlighted energy stocks.
