Schlumberger Limited Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share of 67 cents has remained unchanged in the past seven days. The estimated figure indicates a 24.7% decline from the prior-year reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $8.9 billion indicates a 2.4% decrease from the year-ago recorded figure.
Factors to Consider for SLB
Per data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the average spot prices for Cushing, OK, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for July, August and September were $68.39, $64.86 and $63.96 per barrel, respectively. However, the pricing environment was more favorable in the prior-year comparable months, with average prices of $81.80, $76.68 and $70.24 per barrel, respectively.
Since the pricing scenario for the commodity in the third quarter of 2025 was less favorable than a year ago, demand for SLB's oilfield services is likely to have softened in the September quarter.
