Is Halliburton going to split and when?

Nothing has been announced.  It's up to the company whether or not they split.  Keep in mind that a split is just an accounting measure and a non-event.  What matters is whether or not the company can continue the trend of increasing revs and EPS and beating estimates.

The Project for a New American Century is about to fall apart.  The world is headed back to a multi-polar world, not very stable and it will be compounded by the loss of the dollar as the reserve currency of the world and the peaking of oil.  We're in for a bumpy ride. :(

Halliburton is a parent company which owns a number of subsidiaries.  Basically, it's a company that owns companies.\n\nIt's the same idea as a contractor when you are building a house.  You can hire a carpenter and a plumber and an electrician and a decorator.  Or, you can hire a single company that employs all those people and have them do the work.  That single company is Halliburton.

What do you think? America will still be America, and Bush will be out of Power; hallelujah! Oh, and Halliburton won't be running (ruining) the war in Iraq. You wonder why we are winning?

look for Senator Waxman to look into this and other issues regarding military and defense contracts by spring 07\nThe republican controlled senate has only devoted 12 hours of testimony towards Haliburtons massive fraud this is totally unacceptable.\n\nChairwoman Susan Collins (R-Maine) has steadfastly refused to hold hearings on the issue in the more than two years since the start of the war in Iraq, despite — Collins says because of — multiple executive branch investigations of Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root. \n\n“We should not be in our committee spineless,” Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) said in a recent interview. “We should go ahead and investigate this.” \n\nSince May 9, 2003, Lautenberg, a junior member of the panel, has sent five letters to Collins requesting hearings on various alleged misdeeds of KBR and Halliburton . \n\nIn his most recent letter on April 26, Lautenberg outlined several issues the committee could probe, including: \n\n• An April 2005 State Department report that found major cost overruns and “poor performance” by Halliburton on a $1.2 billion contract to repair Iraqi oil fields. \n\n• The Defense Department’s decision to override its own auditors when it decided in February not to withhold payments from Halliburton until questions about overcharges were answered. \n\n• Allegations by an Army Corps of Engineers whistleblower that Halliburton was unfairly and improperly awarded its no-bid contract with the U.S. government. \n\n• Findings by Pentagon auditors that Halliburton overcharged the government $61 million for gasoline imports in Iraq as well as $27.4 million for troops’ meals in Iraq. \n\n• Allegations that Halliburton employees received $6.3 million in kickbacks from Kuwaiti businessmen in exchange for subcontracting deals. \n\n• Allegations that KBR employees abandoned trucks, each costing $85,000, due to flat tires and other repairable problems.

You should have started buying Haliburton stocks when the Bush administration started their sales pitch on invading Iraq.  Those stocks have more than tripled in value since then.

Don't even think about it coming this year. They are all still hashing it over. I think it will be sometime end of next year before a compromise is even reached.

Total Cost of Tax Break: $76.5 billion from 2005-2014\n\nIn this provision, America’s largest energy companies—among the most profitable in the U.S. economy—would succeed in reclassifying energy production as a manufactured good in order to qualify for potentially tens of billions of dollars in new tax deductions. The manufacturing tax deduction has previously only been available to traditional manufacturing industries. The amount of the tax deduction is 3% of a company’s production income in 2005 and 2006; rising to 6% in 2007-2009, and 9% after 2009.\n\nThe total cost of this tax deduction, $76.5 billion from 2005-2014, includes the value of the tax deduction for energy companies and other industries, including movie studios, real estate developers and engineering and architectural services associated with real estate development. It is a safe assumption that energy companies—due to their size within the U.S. economy—will be the largest recipient.\n\nSince 2001, electric power, natural gas and oil corporations have contributed $73 million to federal candidates, with three-quarters of that total going to Republicans. Halliburton is the largest oil field services provider and provides services to Chevron. Bush Sr. was a director of Halliburton. Dick Cheney was Halliburton's CEO. Chevron is the #1 importer of Iraqi oil. Members of the Bush administration planned to oust Saddam and establish control in Iraq since long before the Iraq war. Bush started a war in Iraq. War brings profit to defense contractors. Bush Sr is a director of one of the world's largest defense contractors.    See the circle of greed and profit? These facts show there is a serious conflict of interest with the relationships between the Bush family, the Bush Administration, ChevronTexaco, Halliburton, the Carlyle Group and members of PNAC. The Bush family and friends have been profiting from war and will continue to profit greatly through continued services contracts in Iraq and the controlled flow of Iraqi oil.

It'll likely be in 2007 or early 2008. Rick Wagoner (CEO of GM) has done a lot recently to (re)build the company into a leaner and meaner enterprise. In the last 6 months, GM has made a deal with the UAW to reduce health care costs by 1B annually, they've introduced their new line of SUV's (6 months early) with great fanfare, they've implemented a new pricing strategy to reduce incentives, and they've begun the long process of "right sizing" the company. GM is also working with Delphi to offer buyouts to their employee's in hopes of avoiding a crippling strike by the UAW. GM is looking to sell a controlling interest in GMAC which will raise some much needed cash for GM to reinvest it's core business. Overall, the days of GM having 30%-40% market share are long gone. It's still the biggest (for now), working harder  than ever on being the best.

Try KBR a Halliburton company.

I think this is what you are referring to: \n\nBERKELEY, CA — A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide "temporary detention and processing capabilities." \n\nThe contract — announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR — calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster." The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when. \n\nTo date, some newspapers have worried that open-ended provisions in the contract could lead to cost overruns, such as have occurred with KBR in Iraq. A Homeland Security spokesperson has responded that this is a "contingency contract" and that conceivably no centers might be built. But almost no paper so far has discussed the possibility that detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law. \n\nThese are interesting times.

I think he has done the math, and has figured out he needs to two more years worth of commissions to get the advice he wants.  Things are going just as they planned, and he knows he can stall until his term is up.  He can wait one year for the conditions to be favorable, and take another year to do the job.  Halliburtons contracts will be up by then, and he can then pull everybody out that he sent in in the first place.  Then we, and probably other countries as well, will have to clean up the mess of this massive Skull and Bones Fraternity Party.\nImpeachment is almost too good for what these boys have been up to.

I would think Q2 this year...they probably want to let the stock stabilize....however, I wouldn't be surprised if they did announce a split next week.

Yep. Correct.  \nBP announced today that they expect the Oil price to fall.\nThey didn't give a specific reason for this sudden announcement.\n& who do you ask?\nDo what I do & make up my own mind.\nWith the Insurgents a lil more fazed after head-honcho dead.\nThey'll be able to pump at full steam ahead instead of half-cocked of late.\n\n& once the OIL's all gone, I suppose it's too late to start debating re. the legality of the Iraq invasion again!

Dividends are determined each quarter by the board of directors and will likely be the same approximate percentage of the stock price. (So yes, they will split also, although that is not technically correct).
