Read MoreHide Full Article
Analysts on Wall Street project that Halliburton (HAL - Free Report) will announce quarterly earnings of $0.70 per share in its forthcoming report, representing a decline of 18.6% year over year. Revenues are projected to reach $5.64 billion, declining 1.7% from the same quarter last year.
The current level reflects a downward revision of 3.3% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter over the past 30 days. This demonstrates how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reappraised their initial projections over this period.

Numerous empirical studies consistently demonstrate a strong relationship between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.
