— 1 · The Locked Call

SLB Q3 2026 revenue lands ≥$8.5 billion — P = 0.93.

We lock a binary: SLB reports third-quarter 2026 revenue of at least $8.5 billion, per the company's results release. Confidence 93%.

— 2 · Why it's nail-able

Management guided sequential growth, so our floor sits below a quarter they expect to beat.

SLB delivered $8.97bn in Q2 and guided to 3–4% sequential revenue growth, which points to roughly $9.2–$9.3bn in Q3, against a stated $10bn exit rate for the fourth quarter. Our floor sits about 5% below the quarter already banked — that is, meaningfully below a number management expects to exceed rather than merely meet. Oilfield services revenue also rests on multi-year international and offshore contracts that do not reprice quarterly. Confidence 93%, not higher, because this business remains levered to operator capital budgets, and a sharp oil-price fall would show up in activity within a quarter or two. Scored on TOTAL revenue, not the Digital segment and not adjusted EBITDA.
