UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB) price target of $95.00.

Analyst, Angie Sedita, issued a quick note, raising estimates on international.

On Friday (Jul-20) morning, Schlumberger reported Q2 EPS of $1.05, $0.05 better than estimates. Revenues were $10.45B vs. consensus of $10.41B.

Schlumberger CEO Paal Kibsgaard commented, "Solid activity growth and a consistent focus on execution led to results that continued to strengthen in the second quarter.

Internationally, sequential results were underpinned by activity growth both offshore and in key land markets. Latin America and Middle East & Asia Areas both progressed well, while Europe, CIS and Africa showed particular strength across the Area. In North America, the Canadian spring break-up and the weakness in the US land hydraulic fracturing market lowered results although this was tempered by robust performance in other land businesses and in the US Gulf of Mexico."
