Stock Recommendation:
CLB's stock price has surged 27.37% in the past week and is currently leaning towards the mid-band of its 52-week range of USD 21.08 to USD 49.87. We have valued the stock using the Price/Earnings-based relative valuation methodology and arrived at a target price of USD 30.00.
Considering the significant rise in the share price in a short span, leveraged balance sheet, the decline in revenues, stress on margins, and other technical indicators, we recommend a "Sell" rating on the stock at the closing price of USD 35.04, up 13.07% as of March 08, 2022.
