Halliburton Company (HAL) Q3 earnings meet estimates, revenues miss
Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) reported in-line earnings for the third quarter of 2019. Meanwhile, revenues declined and missed the Street view. The company’s stock dropped modestly during Monday’s pre-market session, after the announcement.
Total revenues declined 10% year-over-year to $5.6 billion and missed the estimates, mainly hurt by the continuing weakness in North American operations. Net income attributable to the company was $295 million, or $0.34 per share, compared to $435 million, or $0.50 per share, in the year-ago period.
Earnings Beat
Adjusted net income totaled $303 million or $0.35 per share. Earnings matched analysts’ consensus estimate. The results were negatively impacted by the muted top-line performance and lower margins.
