Current thesis
The modest Q3 beat and early 2027 outlook provide a credible improvement path if international activity and Drilling and Evaluation strength persist. Jefferies and RBC raised targets after the print, but those changes do not establish a uniform upward revision cycle [#PR-2026-10-20].
