Improving

While revenue saw a slight contraction, the significant expansion in net income and EPS demonstrates strong operational leverage and the success of the post-bankruptcy cost-cutting initiatives.

Weatherford is transitioning from a survival story to a value compounder, with a focus on margin protection and generating consistent free cash flow across oil price cycles.
