Schlumberger (SLB) Dives 10.69% as Earnings Disappoint

We recently published These 10 Stocks Fell Hard. Are You Holding Any? Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:SLB) is one of this week’s top performers.

Schlumberger saw its share prices decrease by 10.69 percent week-on-week from $37.31 on July 11 to $33.32 last Friday, as investor sentiment was dampened by a disappointing earnings performance in the second quarter of the year.

In its earnings release, Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:SLB) said attributable net income, excluding charges and credits, fell by 17 percent to $1.016 billion from $1.224 billion in the same period last year.

Revenues dropped by 6 percent to $8.546 billion from $9.139 billion year-on-year.

Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:SLB) regarded its performance as “solid,” saying that it leveraged its diversified portfolio and broad market exposure to deliver steady revenues despite the market navigating several dynamics and macroeconomic uncertainties.

“Despite this, commodity prices have remained range-bound. Meanwhile, customers have selectively adjusted activity, prioritizing key projects and planning cautiously, particularly in offshore deepwater markets,” it said.
