Prior to today's trading, shares of the world's largest oilfield services company had gained 8.13% over the past month. This has outpaced the Oils-Energy sector's gain of 5.65% and the S&P 500's gain of 5.72% in that time.
Schlumberger will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be January 21, 2022. In that report, analysts expect Schlumberger to post earnings of $0.39 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 77.27%.
