SLB's Q2 earnings beat estimates as strength outside the Middle East offsets war disruptions. The company's revenue rose 5% on offshore growth, but declined 5% excluding ChampionX. The stock surged 9-10% in response to the solid performance.

SLB reported Q2 adjusted earnings of $0.55 per share, beating the ~$0.51 consensus, as strength outside the Middle East offset regional war disruptions and sent the stock up about 10%.

North America revenue jumped 36% to $2.24 billion on digital and production-systems growth, while Middle East revenue fell about 13% sequentially amid conflict-related disruptions. ChampionX contributed roughly $870 million in revenue and remained margin-accretive despite chemical-cost inflation.

Management pointed to reigniting global oil investment and energy-security demand as tailwinds, with digital and data-center momentum a growing contributor to results.

With guidance pointing to further growth, investors are watching whether SLB can sustain North American and offshore strength as Middle East activity stabilizes.
