據(jù)OE網(wǎng)站7月22日報(bào)道，貝克休斯(Baker Hughes)周三公布連續(xù)第二個(gè)季度虧損，并表示將繼續(xù)控制成本，為更長期的油價(jià)波動(dòng)做準(zhǔn)備。

由于3-4月原油價(jià)格暴跌，導(dǎo)致對(duì)貝克休斯及其競爭對(duì)手斯倫貝謝(Schlumberger)和哈里伯頓(Halliburton)提供的服務(wù)需求減少，石油生產(chǎn)商停止了新油井的鉆探，并大幅削減了預(yù)算。

貝克休斯的油田服務(wù)業(yè)務(wù)收入約占總銷售額的一半，在第二季度下降了26％，至24.1億美元。 總收入下降了21％，至47.4億美元。

周三美國原油期貨交易于每桶41美元左右，處于多數(shù)生產(chǎn)商需要盈利的最低端。

自油價(jià)暴跌以來，一些較小的油田服務(wù)公司已申請破產(chǎn)，其中包括貝克休斯（Baker Hughes）持有少數(shù)股權(quán)的壓裂專業(yè)服務(wù)公司BJ。

貝克休斯已將其今年預(yù)算同比削減了20％以上，并披露了退出或關(guān)閉非核心產(chǎn)品線的計(jì)劃，其中包括北美全方位服務(wù)的鉆井和完井液業(yè)務(wù)。

首席執(zhí)行官洛倫佐·西蒙內(nèi)利（Lorenzo Simonelli）表示，我們正在為未來可能出現(xiàn)的波動(dòng)做準(zhǔn)備，同時(shí)還將側(cè)重于從結(jié)構(gòu)上降低成本基礎(chǔ)?！彼赋?，第二波新冠疫情和高失業(yè)率可能帶來經(jīng)濟(jì)不確定性。

該公司第二季度凈虧損增加至2.01億美元，合每股31美分，上年同期為虧損900萬美元，合每股2美分。

根據(jù)Refinitiv IBES數(shù)據(jù)顯示，貝克休斯每股虧損5美分，低于分析師平均預(yù)期的1美分。

盤前交易中，該公司股價(jià)上漲1.23%，至16.50美元，分析師普遍對(duì)貝克休斯的業(yè)績持樂觀的態(tài)度。

Tudor Pickering Holt & Co的分析師在一份報(bào)告中寫道，基本運(yùn)營業(yè)績比預(yù)期要好得多。"

Baker Hughes Posts Q2 Loss as Oil Slump Hits Demand

Baker Hughes Co posted its second consecutive quarterly loss on Wednesday and said it would continue to rein in costs in preparation for a longer period of volatility in oil prices.

Oil producers halted the drilling of new wells and drastically cut their budgets following a collapse in crude oil prices in March and April that clipped demand for services offered by Baker Hughes and rivals Schlumberger and Halliburton.

Revenue from Baker Hughes' oilfield services business, which accounts for about half of total sales, tumbled 26% to $2.41 billion in the second quarter. Total revenue fell 21% to $4.74 billion.

U.S. crude futures were trading around $41 per barrel on Wednesday, at the lower end of what most producers need to be profitable.

Some smaller oilfield service firms have filed for bankruptcy since the oil price crash, including fracker BJ Services, in which Baker Hughes holds a minority interest.

Baker Hughes has cut its 2020 budget by over 20% year-on-year and disclosed plans to exit or shut down non-core product lines, including North American full-service drilling and completions fluids business.

"We are preparing for potential future volatility, while also focusing on structurally reducing our cost base," Chief Executive Lorenzo Simonelli said, pointing to the risks from a second wave of coronavirus cases and high unemployment that could lead to economic uncertainty.

Net loss attributable to the company widened to $201 million, or 31 cents per share, in the second quarter, from a loss of $9 million, or 2 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding charges, Baker Hughes lost 5 cents per share, worse than analysts' average expectation of 1 cent, according to Refinitiv IBES data.

Shares were up 1.23% in premarket trading at $16.50, and analysts were generally upbeat about Baker's results.

"Underlying operational results fared (much) better vs consensus expectations," wrote analysts for Tudor Pickering Holt & Co in a note.
