SLB's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $1.25 per share and revenue of $22.97 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +83.82% and -2.68%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for SLB should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
