Halliburton Reports Strong Q2 2025 Earnings Amid Market Challenges

HOUSTON - On July 22, 2025, Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, reporting a net income of $472 million, translating to $0.55 per diluted share. This marks a significant increase from the previous quarter's net income of $204 million, or $0.24 per diluted share. The company's total revenue for Q2 2025 stood at $5.5 billion, up from $5.4 billion in the first quarter, with an operating margin of 13%.

Halliburton's CEO, Jeff Miller, expressed optimism regarding the company’s strategic direction despite acknowledging potential softness in the oilfield services market in the near to medium term. “Halliburton today is more differentiated, with deeper technology advantages to address our customers' requirements,” Miller stated during an earnings call.

The second quarter results reflect a robust performance in Halliburton's Completions and Production segment, which generated $3.2 billion in revenue. This was attributed to increased pressure pumping services and higher sales of completion tools in the Western Hemisphere. However, operating income for this segment decreased by 3% due to lower pricing for stimulation services in the U.S. land market.

In the Drilling and Evaluation segment, revenue rose to $2.3 billion, fueled by increased drilling-related services globally. Yet, operating income decreased by 11%, primarily due to seasonal roll-offs and increased costs related to startup mobilization across various product lines.

Geographically, North America’s revenue held steady at $2.3 billion, driven by stimulation activity in Canada and improved cementing services. In contrast, international revenue increased to $3.3 billion, with Latin America experiencing a 9% rise in revenue driven by improved activities in Mexico and Brazil. However, the Middle East/Asia region saw a 4% decline due to reduced activities in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Notably, Halliburton repurchased approximately $250 million of its common stock during the quarter and paid dividends of $0.17 per share. Looking ahead, Miller emphasized the importance of technology and service execution in maximizing asset value, asserting that Halliburton possesses unmatched capabilities in this market segment.

The firm's commitment to innovation continues, as demonstrated by the development of intelligent fracturing technology in collaboration with Chevron, enhancing the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing operations. Additionally, Halliburton's joint efforts with Nabors Industries have resulted in the first fully automated drilling operations in Oman.

As Halliburton navigates a complex global energy landscape, the company remains focused on delivering shareholder value, while adapting to fluctuating market conditions. Analysts anticipate continued scrutiny on Halliburton’s ability to leverage its technological advancements to remain competitive in the evolving oilfield services sector.
