SLB Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -2.5% MEDIUM
SLB Return 5-day cumulative residual -4.5% (FADE) Q2 tracked below the April 'mid-quarter easing' framework because the Middle East conflict re-escalated late in the quarter (crude >$100, stock already crushed from ~$58 to ~$47). A likely miss on EPS/revenue/margin plus a cautious, pushed-out Q3 recovery cadence forces analysts to cut out-period (Q3/H2) estimates even as management reaffirms capital returns and data-center/digital growth. Implicit downward revisions outweigh the bullish higher-oil sector narrative in the first week, so the initial drop grinds lower rather than reversing. LOW
