Why You Need to Own Schlumberger

The perfect storm hit the energy sector in 2020: a demand and supply shock that could only be triggered by a pandemic-like event, forcing entire countries to shut down. Oil services company Schumberger (NYSE: SLB) weathered this period incredibly well, and with an impending stimulus-led economic boom on the horizon, it is positioned to exceed expectations. Despite a shift toward green energy, oil remains key to satisfying the world's power demands.
