CLB beats Q3 earnings estimates on strong Production Enhancement results. However, earnings dip y/y due to the Reservoir Description segment's weakness.

Supplier of residential thermal, comfort and security solutions, Resideo Technologies, Inc. (REZI) was the top contributor in the quarter. Shares of gold mining company, Barrick Mining Corporation (B) also jumped in the quarter on strong financial results buoyed by rising gold prices. We added Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG), the world's largest insurance broker focused on middle-market clients.

Core Laboratories (CLB) possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.

Core Laboratories (CLB) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.

CLB benefits from revenue expansion, proprietary tools & disciplined spending, though flat guidance, low dividends & sector competition remain headwinds.

Strict capital discipline by upstream energy companies is acting as a dampener, making the outlook for the Zacks Oil and Gas- Field Services industry gloomy. FTI, AROC and CLB are expected to survive the industry challenges.
