3、report as only a single factor in making their investment decision.With 1Q19 oil services earnings set to get underway a touch early this Thursdayas SLB reports prior to Good Friday,weve compiled a comprehensive guide for how wed be positioned into the first half of the groups prints,where we think
4、buy side and sell side expectations deviate,and what potential catalysts were watching for on the calls.In our“early”installment,we provide previews for the 17 covered companies reporting results through most of April,with more in-depth summaries of our thoughts and estimates v.consensus in the inte
5、rior.After a decidedly quiet 1Q,we are probably more optimistic about this set of prints as weve ever been since our May 2015 launch.And yet,Fridays negative preannouncement from NOV(-8%v.1%OSX)if anything reinforced the specter of“austerity”continues to penetrate deeper into the upstream supply cha
6、in.Though we expect sell side numbers will drift lower during 1Q preview and review season(including several of our own models),oils YTD rise(+41/33%WTI/Brent)supports the buy sides desire to buy“the last cut”.Though L-48 activity in 2H19 remains uncertain,those are questions to be sorted closer to
7、midyear(perhaps at our June Energy Conference).Below we provide“one liners”on all 17 previews in this report,categorized by our expected market reaction to the prints and how wed respond.1Q19 One LinersPositive:SLB:1Q looks in line with preliminary$0.30-0.33 EPS guide but beat likely contained;2Q li
8、kely gets blessed but commentary around 2H19 visibility(and firmed international growth confidence)more incremental to outlook.Market is likely forgiving to further downward revisions to 2020 estimates as long as Brent stays above$70/bbl.HAL:After recent guide-downs,a“beat-and-meet”1Q/2Q19 should be
9、 enough for the shares to outperform,especially with WTI+$60.The quarter looks in line-to-better on stronger volumes and lighter margin,while 2Q still a transitional quarter given startup costs(JPMe 2Q$0.29 v.Street$0.28).A continued focus on capital discipline can also distinguish v.peers.FTI:Order
10、s win the day as announced major awards set up(telegraphed)record quarter and macro outlook likely constructive;guidance likely unchanged but we think Street numbers are biased higher.Lingering“hair”around working capital,ASC842 impact and sequential Subsea margin progression wont go away,but manage
11、ment continues to make strides to streamline messaging.HP:Customer mix weighted toward large E&Ps and a fleet of in-demand super-spec rigs should buoy H&Ps FY2Q19 results despite a declining industry rig count;+$60 WTI could lead to HP raising the upper end of its upgrade guide,but we expect the com
12、pany to offer a Goldilocks mix of FCF and incremental EBITDA.2North America Equity Research15 April 2019Sean C Meakim,CFA(1-212)622-Neutral:BHGE:1Q tracking expectations without the U.S.frac pricing headwinds of peers and LNG FID queue still constructive;potential downside to 2Q margin progression(J
13、PMe 2Q+50bps q/q v.Street+90bps)but transitory drags make 2H19 outlook more important.Harder to envision how BHGE keeps the LNG momentum going near term.GE overhang likely caps near-term stock upside.RIG:A refreshed deepwater outlook and commentary on ORIG asset contracting strategy outweigh quarter
14、ly results;watch for an update on capital allocation surrounding ORIG assets,and available opex levers with fleet activity projected to rise in 2019.PTEN:With drilling activity and completions challenges well-telegraphed and a strong run in the shares YTD,we see little scope for an upside surprise a
15、nd look for a print in line with Street estimates while 2H19 expectations deflate.ESV:Print takes a back seat to combined-fleet questioning and integration related topics;look an update on the drillship priority queue given minimal backlog attached to three high-spec RDC rigs(the fourth drillship re
16、mains warm-stacked),and the opportunity set for semis in APAC(particularly Australia).OII:1Q print mostly de-risked with margin stabilization expected to help offset the q/q top line decline,though further ROV margin degradation could happen if utilization fails to offset the expected pricing declin
17、e.Keep an eye on order flow within products and an update on FCF generation through the lens of working capital needs;we still expect 2019 falls towards the lower end of guidance.DRQ:Upside from potential incremental wellhead order likely already embedded given YTD share outperformance,but an elevat
18、ed forward outlook order flow range above the typically guided$50-$70mm/quarter could reignite momentum with DRQ inching towards the top line bogey associated with more meaningful incrementals.We believe 1Q financial performance is largely de-risked,and do not expect material updates on Sea Lion or
19、CRD.DO:The incremental color on capital allocation and drillship downtime likely de-risks the print with the q/q EBITDA decline embedded within consensus estimates;expect questions to focus on DOs drillships marketing strategy with legacy contract rolls beginning in 2020,in addition to potential gro
20、wth strategies to increase fleet scale,and the wide dispersion in FY19 Street estimates.OIS:Stronger-than-expected completions activity is expected to de-risk our prior call for well site top line to fall below the guidance range,though we expect segment margin will print light.Look for an update on
21、 the 2H19 trajectory given E&P budgets no longer skew favorably to 2H19,and how the company plans to capture market share with its integrated gun offering as competition stiffens.SPN:1Q19 results will be weighed down by a well-telegraphed OC&WS activity decline,though we expect an in line print.Inte
22、rnational markets increasingly critical to SPNs results,and while 1Q is seasonally a tough FCF quarter,that remains the key priority considering the balance sheet and near term maturities.3North America Equity Research15 April 2019Sean C Meakim,CFA(1-212)622-Negative:NOV:We took a bearish stance int
23、o NOVs 1Q19 print with our preview last week,but more on longer-term negative revisions rather than risks to 1Q itself.While Fridays sizable miss to 1Q consensus officially de-risks the quarter,2020 revisions remain biased lower as industrys capital discipline slowly bites through supply chain.The a
24、dmission of a need to cut costs further indicates an inflection is not around the corner.Focus will be on the outlook for Wellbore margin and CAPS orders,while messaging around balance sheet strategy likely status quo(buyback deferred,M&A contained to bolt-ons).CLB:1Q likely in line with prior guide
25、 but PE growth will be critical to assuaging concerns around energetics market share following BOOMs+27%q/q revenue pre-announcement;indications of offshore cores for RD also important.PD:While U.S.results look set to remain solid,we think consensus estimates may be overly optimistic(particularly in
26、 2H19)as Canadian activity disappoints,making a downside surprise likely,in our view.FET:1Q print seemed mostly de-risked with the companys guided q/q drop-off attributable to completions softness that is captured within the relatively tight consensus EBITDA band;however,NOVs pre-announced 1Q comple
27、tions weakness implicates FETs drilling and completion consumables in the context of perhaps a deeper-than-expected trough point and wed argue a flatter recovery.4North America Equity Research15 April 2019Sean C Meakim,CFA(1-212)622-Table of Contents1Q19 Earnings Calendar.5Diversifieds.6Schlumberger

39、-8967/(612)333-4911Our Take:A quiet winter conference season was a respite from SLBs recent string of intra-quarter guide-downs,and a firmer 2H19 international outlook should cushion relative revisions v.more tempered NAM onshore in our estimate.1Q is likely down the middle of the companys prelimina
40、ry$0.30-0.33 EPS guide(v.JPMe$0.31,Street$0.30)though anecdotes of deferred international spending and flat-lined U.S.frac pricing likely limit scope for a material beat.Still,the implied 6%q/q EBITDA improvement in 2Q looks reasonable given seasonal uplift(rev+4%,margin+30bps).While the market is l
41、ikely already focused on SLBs visibility to 2H19 international opportunities and timing outlook for a return to+10%margin,$70 Brent can alleviate those concerns,at least in the near term.We see limited upside for SLB shares trading at a 4.5%div/FCF yield,but envision a more forgiving market on the p
42、rint.2H19 visibility barbell:SLBs recently upped high-SD international capex forecast is considerably 2H-weighted,though we expect messaging on the call for+10%y/y Drilling growth and favorable long-lead indicators in CAM to help assuage investor discomfort around visibility.However,2H visibility in
43、 NAM onshore will likely be lacking(understandably),and we believe the company will emphasize its operating flexibility particularly in OneStim.Strategy update still pending amid CEO succession process:We suspect the new C-suite strategic plan is still in early development following Februarys appoin
44、tmentof Olivier Le Peuch as COO(i.e.,CEO on deck).We are intrigued by potential initiatives to further“digitize”the oilfield given Le Peuchs“technologist”background and following the Sensia JV with ROK.However,we believe SLB is unlikely to address much in the way of material strategic pivots during
45、the 1Q call,and expect incremental details during the summer/fall conference season(Kibsgaard and Le Peuch will both be in attendance at our JPM conference in June).Table 2:1Q19 Key Operating Metrics,JPMe v.ConsensusTable 3:2Q19 Key Operating Metrics,JPMe v.ConsensusTable 4:2019 Key Operating Metric
