Halliburton Company reported Q1 2026 revenue of $5.4 billion, roughly flat year over year, but profitability improved sharply. Operating income rose to $679 million from $431 million, aided by the absence of prior-year impairments. Net income attributable to the company more than doubled to $461 million, with basic and diluted earnings of $0.55 per share versus $0.24 a year ago.
Completion and Production revenue fell 3% to $3.0 billion and operating income declined 17%, reflecting weaker stimulation and pressure pumping, including conflict‑related disruptions in the Middle East. Drilling and Evaluation revenue grew 4% to $2.4 billion with flat operating income as stronger Latin America and Europe/Africa/CIS activity offset Middle East softness.
Cash flow from operations was $273 million, with $192 million of capital expenditures. Halliburton returned cash through $142 million of dividends and $100 million of share repurchases, ending the quarter with $2.0 billion of cash and equivalents and a $3.5 billion undrawn credit facility. The company continues to incur SAP S4 migration expenses and highlights an ongoing IRS dispute over the 2016 Baker Hughes termination fee that could result in approximately $640 million of additional cash taxes if resolved adversely.
Halliburton Company reported sharply higher profits on flat revenue in the first quarter of 2026. Net income rose to $461 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared with $204 million, or $0.24 per share, in the first quarter of 2025. Revenue was $5.4 billion, essentially unchanged year over year, while operating income increased to $679 million from $431 million, supported by a 13% operating margin.
Free cash flow was $123 million and cash flow from operations totaled $273 million. The company repurchased about $100 million of common stock and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share. Completion and Production revenue declined 3% and operating income fell 17%, mainly on lower stimulation and pressure pumping activity in North America and the Middle East. Drilling and Evaluation revenue grew 4% with flat operating income, helped by stronger project management and drilling-related services in Latin America and Europe. Management noted the Middle East conflict reduced net income by approximately $0.02 to $0.03 per diluted share.

Halliburton director Maurice S. Smith reported a compensation-related equity grant and updated his deferred and restricted stock holdings. On March 30, 2026, he received 827.815 stock equivalent units at a stated price of $0.00 under Halliburton’s Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. These stock equivalent units convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis and are settled in company shares after his service as a director ends. A portion of the units reflects quarterly dividends and fees, based on closing prices of $38.63 and $39.26 in March 2026, and the plan is described as an ongoing securities acquisition program. Following this grant, Smith directly holds 13,768.454 stock equivalent units, in addition to several series of restricted stock units tied one-for-one to common shares, including 12/2025, 12/2024, 12/2023, and 03/2023 awards with underlying share amounts of 7,517.9400, 6,292.1000, 5,093.0800, and 4,070.4900, respectively. The restricted stock units vest over time, with the referenced award terms stating vesting after one year, and shares are delivered either upon vesting or, if he elected deferral, after his board service concludes.
