Q: How did they do this 1/4 ? Thanks.
5i Research Answer:
EPS of 96c beat estimates of 93.5c; revenue of $11.71B beat estimates of $11.03B. EPS did fall year over year on lower pricing. Cash flow was $2.8B, down 34% and short of $3.18B estimates. Production did rise 3% to 741.900 b/d. Guidance was maintained and the quarter looks fine to us considering sector influences (pricing/inflation).
