Schlumberger N.V. (SLB) 10-K Red Flags

Risk signals extracted deterministically from Schlumberger N.V.’s SEC 10-K/10-Q XBRL filings — no LLM, every finding cites the underlying data.

Detected red flags (12)

  • Inventory buildup exceeds sales growth: Inventory grew -0.3% vs revenue -27.0%. Excess inventory may signal weakening demand, potential write-downs, or supply chain overcommitment. Watch gross margin for discounting impact.
  • Material weakness in internal controls: The term "material weakness" appears in 19 recent filing(s) (vs 2 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
  • Operating cash flow exceeds net income: OCF is 1.58x net income, indicating high earnings quality — cash conversion is strong and accruals are not inflating reported profits.
  • Deferred revenue growing — future revenue visibility: Deferred revenue grew +168.0% to $1.09B, providing forward revenue visibility. This is a positive leading indicator for subscription or contract-based businesses.
  • Goodwill is 31% of total assets: Goodwill of $16.85B represents a large share of the balance sheet. If acquired businesses underperform, a non-cash impairment charge could materially impact earnings. Monitor segment performance and acquisition integration metrics.
  • Endogenous analysis: Strong cash conversion (OCF > NI) combined with growing deferred revenue provides high forward visibility. The business model appears to generate sustainable, recurring cash flows — a positive structural indicator.
  • 20 disclosure(s) dropped from prior year — reduced reporting granularity.
  • Ongoing high-severity risk language: Material weakness in internal controls.
  • Price $45.13 — downtrend (below 200-DMA); 1-month momentum negative.
  • RSI(14) 8.67 (oversold).
  • Inventory buildup exceeds sales growth: Inventory grew -0.3% vs revenue -27.0%. Excess inventory may signal weakening demand, potential write-downs, or supply chain overcommitment. Watch gross margin for discounting impact.
  • Material weakness in internal controls: The term "material weakness" appears in 19 recent filing(s) (vs 2 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
