Halliburton Co. (NYSE:HAL) is one of the largest diversified oilfield service and equipment companies in the world. Shares increased in the fourth quarter as the company reported strong earnings on lower costs and margins in North America that beat Street expectations. Shares also rallied after OPEC’s decision to cut output. We believe Halliburton has a market-leading position in North American unconventional plays and is the best positioned company to benefit from the ongoing recovery in onshore well completion activity.
