Our note on each quarter Weatherford International files

10-Q filed October 21: Weatherford International

Revenue for the twelve months to September 2026 reached $4.69bn, down 5.7% on a year earlier and faster than the -7.2% recorded a quarter earlier. That ranks the company 906 of 934 for growth across our coverage. Free-cash-flow margin improved to 12.3% from 7.7%, while operating margin narrowed to 12.4% from 15.2%. On balance, the fundamentals grade lifts from D to C. Our model value is little changed at $102 a share, against a price of $81.18, and the rating stays Hold. At that price, the market appears to be pricing cash flow shrinking about 1.4% a year for five years, slower than the 5.2% a year revenue growth already delivered.

Highlights

How we pick these

  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 1.2% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.

Valuation

Weatherford International plc valuation models and calculator

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 0.2% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is slower than the 5.2% a year revenue growth Weatherford International has delivered.

  • Priced in0.2%
  • Last 12 months-5.7%
  • 3 years a year-2.0%
  • 5 years a year5.2%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($89.29, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Weatherford International plc's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($458M, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 4.5% and 3.6% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 2% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$78–~$140 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Weatherford International plc's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $458M, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Weatherford International plc as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 10.2%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.17 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Weatherford International plc with Oil & Gas Equipment & Services in our coverage, using third-party market data.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Weatherford International plc’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: fundamentals grade C+ (needs B+ or better).

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: the shares trade below our fair value: a collar caps upside the model expects.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.
