Barclays on Halliburton (HAL): Upside/Downside Trade-off Compelling; Cheapest Among Big Four

Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) price target of $56.00.

Analyst, James C. West, said, "On a number of metrics, including Price to Earnings and Price to Book Value, the large cap service providers offer some of the most compelling values at current levels, in our opinion. At ~8x our 2012 EPS estimate and ~2.1x tangible book value, HAL is trading at trough multiples historically and remains the cheapest amongst the Big Four (HAL, Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI), Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB), and Weatherford (NYSE: WFT))."
