The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share of 60 cents has witnessed two upward revisions and one downward revision in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate implies an increase of almost 43% from the year-ago reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues of $7.2 billion indicates a 9% improvement from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Consider for BKR
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average spot prices for West Texas Intermediate crude at Cushing, OK, were $81.80 per barrel in July, $76.68 per barrel in August and $70.24 per barrel in September. This indicates that the crude pricing environment in the third quarter was highly favorable for exploration and production activities.
Favorable prices of the commodity are likely to have aided exploration and production activities which in turn might have supported demand for the company’s oilfield services. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for BKR’s operating income from the Oilfield Services & Equipment business is pegged at $525.6 million, higher than $465 million reported in the year-ago quarter.
