Cuba, Iran, Sudan & Syria - these are designated state sponsors of terrorism. They are also places that Weatherford liked to do business. In addition they are under investigation for FCPA violations using a subsidiary in Europe.
Even if you are morally OK with owning this stock, perhaps you should consider that the fines resulting from these investigations could reach hundreds of millions. Perhaps that has something to do with the $1.75B revolving credit facility Weatherford signed with JP Morgan.
