Halliburton Misses Slightly
Oilfield services company Halliburton Co. (HAL) has swung to a third quarter net loss of $21 million, or 2 cents a share. However, Halliburton earnings of 76 cents a share topped analysts' estimates pegged at 75 cents. The result comes on the back of a quarter, when oil prices have been shaved off by more than 50%. The stock is up 11.83% since the opening bell.
Management said the result was hurt by 4 cents a share because of the hurricane-caused disruptions at its Gulf of Mexico facilities. The company warned that any further drop in energy prices could hit profitability more.
