Estimate Trend of BKR

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share of 61 cents has been revised downward in the past seven days. The estimated figure indicates a 9% decline from the prior-year reported number.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $6.8 billion indicates a 1.2% decrease from the year-ago recorded figure.

Factors to Consider for BKR

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 months, with average prices of $81.80, $76.68 and $70.24 per barrel, respectively.

The softer pricing environment is likely to have hurt Baker Hughes’ business associated with Oilfield Services and Equipment in the September quarter of this year. Our model projects EBITDA from the business unit to decline 8.8% year over year.
