Overview of Schlumberger’s Earnings
This oilfield service behemoth reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 55 cents, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.84%. But EPS declined 26% year on year.
The oilfield services giant recorded quarterly revenues of $8.97 billion, which topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.71 billion by around 3%. The top line increased 5% year over year from $8.55 billion. The better-than-expected quarterly results were primarily driven by growth in Digital and Production Systems, along with broad-based gains outside the Middle East.
