We cannot judge SLB N.V. yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

As of October 19, 2026, SLB N.V. scores 6.4 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of solid quality. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is SLB N.V.’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Ranked with the 87 Energy companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 82nd percentile, among the stronger quarter of the group. The median across the group is 5.0, and the top quarter begins at 5.9, so SLB N.V. is above the typical company here.
SLB N.V.’s profitability score is 5.2 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.5 among 84 Energy companies, that is in line with the group and the 46th percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
Solvency scores 8.0 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 79 Energy companies is 6.5, so SLB N.V. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 69th percentile. A high solvency score means leverage is modest relative to earnings and cash flow, which gives management room to act in a bad year.
Growth scores 6.5 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 66 Energy companies is 5.2, so SLB N.V. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 66th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
Efficiency scores 7.4 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 81 Energy companies is 5.5, so SLB N.V. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 80th percentile. Efficiency at this level means the company needs comparatively little capital to produce what it sells.
On predictability, SLB N.V. scores 5.4, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 3.1 across 86 Energy companies, which places it well above them, at the 89th percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.
Solvency at 8.0 is SLB N.V.’s best pillar and profitability at 5.2 its weakest. The 2.8 point gap between them is worth keeping in mind when reading the overall. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Weak profitability can be cyclical, so it helps to know whether margins are at a low point or a long-run level.
SLB N.V. has no pillar below the median of Energy companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 6.2 rather than 6.4. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and SLB N.V. has a reading on every pillar.
For a fair comparison, start with companies of a similar size: the Energy companies below are nearest to SLB N.V. by market value, each scored on the same pillars.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.
How well assets and earnings convert into cash and output.
How stable and consistent results have been over time.
Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

On this reading SLB N.V. scores 6.4 out of 10, which reads as solid quality. Its strongest pillar is solvency, its weakest is profitability. Quality is not the same as a good investment: the score says nothing about the price you would pay.
SLB N.V. ranks at the 82nd percentile of the 87 Energy companies Lemma publishes a score for. The median there is 5.0 and the top quarter starts at 5.9, against SLB N.V.’s 6.4.
Five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks and then weighted into one overall reading: profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability. Everything comes from reported financials, and nothing comes from price, sentiment or forecasts.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
