Morgan Halliburton Few Holes in a Story That Keeps Getting Better We spent last week on the road in Europe with CFO Mark McCollum, which reinforced our view that the bull case on Halliburton continues to strongly outweigh any of the bear arguments, of which there are few. With the North American pressure pumping market tightening, HAL is going to be testing pricing in the coming months, providing upside to margin targets. We edged up 2014/2015 EPS above consensus to $4.00/$5.20, with an additional $0.15/$0.35 in EPS upside from share buybacks. Our detailed note begins on Page 2. • With the North America market tightening, HAL is starting to push pricing...will they put Tier 2 players in their place with new capacity? With only 10-12% excess industry capacity and 80% of HAL's hp on 24 hrs, the time is now to start pushing pricing. If successful, HAL likely starts adding capacity in addition to accelerating the Q10 pump rollout, which should make the tier 2 players nervous in light of HAL's considerable cost advantage. • Few concerns about an IOC slowdown, emerging IPM opportunities with NOCs. A lot of talk about IOC capital discipline, but Halliburton isn't seeing a slowdown in the offshore market, nor do they see excess service capacity. NOCs are getting more creative in looking to fund activity with service company balance sheets, creating a growing opportunity set for HAL that must be balanced against higher project risk. - Swirling currents in Latin America. The one soft spot is LatAm where margins should appreciably improve in 2015. Petrobras has agreed to re-tender the drilling contracts on lower activity levels, with costs right-sizing by 2Q15. Mexico reform is getting close and onshore service contracts could materialize in 2H14 followed by IOC offshore tenders in 1H15. Even Venezuela is improving with a recent agreement on receivables and additional activity. • Raising EPS estimates slightly, more upside from buybacks. We raised 2014/2015 EPS to $4.001$5.20 from $3.9515.10 primarily on modest tweaks to our NAM margin and revenue progression, but could see upside on buybacks. We expect HAL to raise its dividend in the coming quarters (we model +20% to 50.18/qtr in 4Q14) to stay within 10-15% of net income but with plans to distribute 30-35% of operating cash flows, we could see -$2bn in buybacks in 2014 (would add —$0.15 to our '14 EPS) and another 42.5bn in 2015 (adds —$0.35 to our '15 EPS).
