Schlumberger (SLB - Free Report) released its second-quarter 2026 earnings results, delivering strong earnings. Its performance has surpassed the analysts' estimates, which brought SLB back into the spotlight. SLB shares grew 11% post releasing its results on July 24, 2026. Thus, ETFs having high exposure to this company drew the attention of investors.

Overview of Schlumberger’s Earnings

This oilfield service behemoth reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 55 cents, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.84%. But EPS declined 26% year on year.

The oilfield services giant recorded quarterly revenues of $8.97 billion, which topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.71 billion by around 3%. The top line increased 5% year over year from $8.55 billion. The better-than-expected quarterly results were primarily driven by growth in Digital and Production Systems, along with broad-based gains outside the Middle East.

Amid the backdrop of U.S.-Israel tensions, the oil price is remaining mostly on the higher side, keeping SLB in an advantageous position, though this quarter marked a return to year-on-year revenue growth outside the Middle East.

Yet, from a year-on-year perspective, the company saw a 22% decline in net income attributable to SLB (on a GAAP basis). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SLB’s third-quarter EPS stands at 65 cents, suggesting a 5.80% dip in year-over-year growth. For the fiscal year, the consensus EPS estimate stands at $2.52, indicating a 13.91% year-over-year decline.

Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for SLB’s third-quarter sales stands at $9.12 billion, implying 2.12% year-over-year growth. For this fiscal year, the consensus estimate for sales stands at $36.49 billion, indicating 2.19% growth.
