Weatherford International shares moved as investors reacted to a fresh Wall Street view that recent Middle East risks are already largely reflected in the price, hinting at room for a rebound as those worries ease. Trading was choppy as the market reassessed how much disruption is truly left to fear.
Adding to the debate, RBC Capital initiated coverage with an Outperform rating and set a $105 price target. The firm highlighted Weatherford’s strong free cash flow and solid return on equity as key reasons it expects the stock to re-rate higher over time.
