Read MoreHide Full Article

Total quarterly revenues of $5,047 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5,372 million. The top line also declined from the year-ago quarter’s $5,142 million.
Lower-than-expected earnings were primarily caused by a decline in cost productivity and inflation pressures in Digital Solutions. This was offset by higher contributions from the Oilfield Services business unit.
