Erle Halliburton founded the company in 1919 on a cement mixing method for sealing oil wells, and cementing and pressure pumping remain core. It is the largest provider of hydraulic fracturing services in North America, which concentrates its exposure in United States shale activity where rig counts and completion intensity move quarterly results. A proposed merger with Baker Hughes collapsed in 2016 under antitrust opposition, costing a $3.5 billion breakup fee. Headquarters are in Houston.

Halliburton equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge HAL stock?

A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current HAL option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Halliburton grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Halliburton typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
