It reports three segments: Drilling and Evaluation, Well Construction and Completions, and Production and Intervention. Its portfolio covers the whole life of a well. That includes managed pressure and directional drilling, wireline and logging services, casing and tubular running, cementing, completion tools and multistage fracturing systems, and artificial lift systems with related automation software.

What is Weatherford International worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, Weatherford International's most-likely value is about $82 versus a recent price near $78 (6% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$54) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
