Read MoreHide Full Article

The reported revenue represents a surprise of -6.99% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $16.18 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $2.61, the EPS surprise was +42.53%.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.

Segment operating Income-Refined & Specialty Oils- Non GAAP: $207 million versus $196.07 million estimated by two analysts on average.
