    What the TotalEnergies and ExxonMobil wins mean for SLB

    SLB (SLB) just picked up two high profile contracts: a global DrillPlan deployment with TotalEnergies and subsea work on ExxonMobil’s Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique, putting its digital and subsea offerings in focus.

    These contract wins arrive after a choppy spell for SLB’s share price, which is up 21.32% year to date but down 13% over the past month. The 1 year total shareholder return of 54.83% contrasts with a 3 year total shareholder return decline of 11.39%, while the 5 year total shareholder return of 59.44% points to long term momentum with some recent re-rating risk.

    Bulls point to SLB’s digital and subsea wins and a 54.83% 1 year return, while bears point to the recent 13% pullback and 3 year decline. Which story does the current valuation support?

    Most Popular Narrative: 22% Undervalued

    SLB last closed at $48.77, while the most followed narrative pegs fair value at $62.41. The contract news therefore lands against a backdrop of implied upside and a higher required return of 7.63% baked into that model.

    Rapid scaling of SLB’s Data Center Solutions business, backed by a backlog that underpins an annualized revenue run rate exceeding US$2 billion by the end of 2027 and medium term targets of US$4.5 billion to US$5.0 billion of data center revenue and US$700 million to US$800 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2028 after the Kelvion acquisition, introduces a large, capital light revenue stream that can add meaningfully to consolidated revenue, EBITDA and cash generation.

    See why 161 investors see SLB as 22% undervalued.

    Result: Fair Value of $62.41 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, the SLB story can break if Middle East disruption drags on or if data center and Kelvion integration targets prove harder to deliver.

    Another View on SLB: Is the P/E Telling a Different Story?

    The earlier fair value of $62.41 comes from a detailed cash flow narrative. On simple earnings metrics, SLB trades on a P/E of 23.3x, which is slightly above both its fair ratio of 22.6x and the US Energy Services sector on 22.2x. That premium can either signal quality or shrink quickly if sentiment cools.
