Is There A Hidden Opportunity In Schlumberger Stock?

After reaching pre-Covid levels in October, the shares of Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB) declined by almost 11% in the past month over concerns of another infectious wave. While, the steep fall in benchmark oil prices are a headwind for the industry, the easing of production curbs by OPEC is likely to boost capital expenses of upstream companies and subsequently push the topline of oil field service firms. Also, our machine learning engine highlights the low event probability (10%) of an 11% decline in Schlumberger stock over the past month and an uncertain 49% chance of a rebound over the next month.
