Halliburton Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) shares are trading lower after the company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43122869/halliburton-announces-fourth-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported mixed fourth-quarter 2024 results</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Halliburton reported a third-quarter revenue decline of 2.3% year-over-year to $5.610 billion, missing the consensus of $5.63 billion.
Completion and Production revenue fell 4.2% YoY to $3.2 billion, with $629 million operating income. The company attributed the sequential decline in the segment results to lower stimulation activity in North America and decreased pressure pumping services in Latin America.
Drilling and Evaluation revenue increased 0.4% YoY to $2.4 billion, with $401 million in operating income, both flat sequentially.
HAL&#8217;s North America revenue declined 8.7% YoY to $2.213 billion, and also down 7% sequentially, impacted by lower stimulation, fluid, and wireline services, partially offset by stronger Gulf of Mexico fluid activity, improved U.S. drilling, and higher artificial lift and completion tool sales.
International revenue rose 3% sequentially to $3.4 billion. Latin America dropped 9% sequentially to $953 million due to lower activity in Mexico and Argentina, partially offset by growth in Brazil and the Caribbean.
Europe/Africa grew 10% sequentially to $795 million, driven by North Sea drilling and African pressure pumping. Middle East/Asia increased by 7% sequentially to $1.6 billion, led by higher stimulation, fluid services, and completion tool sales in key regions.
Operating income stood at $932 million (-11.9% YoY), with an operating margin of about 16.6%, down 182 bps YoY.
Adjusted EPS was $0.70, down from $0.86 a year ago and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">above the consensus of $0.69.</a>
During the quarter, Halliburton repurchased $309 million in stock and $100 million in debt, paid $0.17 per-share dividends, and invested $33 million in SAP S4 migration.
Operating cash flow for the fiscal 2024 was $3.8 billion, and free cash flow was $2.65 billion. For the quarter, operating cash flow was $1.456 billion, and FCF was $1.104 billion.
&#8220;While we expect 2025 to be sequentially softer in North America, we begin the second half of this decade in a great position, with a transformed balance sheet, leading returns, and strong free cash flow,&#8221; commented Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO.
&#8220;I am excited about the long term outlook for Halliburton. I expect to execute our value proposition, deepen our technology portfolio, and drive value through our growth engines: drilling technology, unconventionals, well intervention, and artificial lift,&#8221; concluded Miller.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

President Donald Trump told reporters late Tuesday that he is considering a 10% tariff on goods from China that could take effect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/forex/25/01/43122779/asia-mixed-europe-up-as-trumps-tariff-plans-sparks-market-caution-gold-hits-11-week-high-global-markets-today-while-us-slept">as soon as Feb.1.&nbsp;</a>
&nbsp;"We're talking about a tariff of 10% on China based on the fact that they're sending fentanyl to Mexico and Canada," the president said on Tuesday evening, per CNBC.&nbsp;
"Probably Feb. 1 is the date we're looking at," he added.

What To Know: The potential 10% tariff on Chinese imports is much lower than levies of up to 60% Trump had threatened while campaigning for office.&nbsp;
The potentially reduced levies come after Trump revealed on Friday that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/01/43060607/trump-xi-talk-trade-tiktok-peace-in-first-call-since-2021"> he had spoken</a> with Chinese President Xi Jinping over the phone about trade, fentanyl, TikTok and other topics.&nbsp;
He shared some details and expressed optimism regarding the relationship with China on his social media platform, Truth Social.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"It is my expectation that we will solve many problems together, and starting immediately," Trump said.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: U.S.-listed Chinese stocks climbed Tuesday after Trump neither targeted China in his inauguration speech nor did he instantly impose tariffs on Day 1.&nbsp;
However, following Trump's comments on Tuesday evening, U.S.-listed Chinese stocks are dipping Wednesday with Alibaba Group Holdings, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) both down in early trading. Share of Chinese EV makers XPeng, Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) are also moving lower at the time of publication Wednesday. 
Investors can also monitor effects of proposed tariffs on China through the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>) which consists of China-based companies focused on internet-related technology.

Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
