On CAPS, 97% of the 2,989 members who have rated Schlumberger believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Earlier this month, one of those Fools, All-Star bradford86, highlighted the stock as a cheap way to go for growth:

Schlumberger is certainly not priced as if it is slated to grow at a 30% clip across the next three years. ... Forecasting puts earnings at $4.95 in 2012. Slap a minimum of a 15 multiple on Schlumberger and note that management treats their employees right. Target: $75-$85. I'm actually surprised to see a company with this much growth in store kicking out a dividend that they even went as far as to raise last year.

If you want to retire rich, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its five-star rating, Schlumberger may not be your top choice.
