Halliburton Company (HAL - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 6% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent uptrend for the company—as the stock is now up 17.5% in the past one-month time frame.

The move came after the company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2017 results.

The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
