  • Hightower's Link makes a bullish case for Halliburton on CNBC's "Squawk Box".
  • She's confident that a move to EV won't make legacy energy companies obsolete.
  • Shares of the Oklahoma-based oil and gas firm are down 3.0% this morning.

Shares of Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) have recovered more than 25% since mid-August, but Hightower’s Stephanie Link is convinced now isn’t the time to sell.

Link says the stock could rally further as it is still trading at a “two multiple-point discount”. On CNBC’s “Squawk Box”, she said:

Link expects Halliburton’s “international revenue”, which currently stands at 60%, to double by 2023. Other reasons why she likes the oil and gas company include “great technology and services” that help customers maximise production at a lower cost. She added:

Legacy energy companies won’t be obsolete

Link is confident that a move to EV won’t make the legacy energy companies “obsolete” as both can “coexist”.

Last month, Halliburton won the Energean drilling services contract for offshore Israel. The $20 billion company with a price to earnings ratio of 140 is down 3.0% in the stock market this morning.
