Halliburton (HAL) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results and Next Report Date

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Halliburton published the results on October 20, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Halliburton reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• Halliburton's release compares Q3 2026 mainly with the previous quarter (Q2 2026). The year-ago figures on this page come from the Q3 2025 column of the release's tables.
• Q3 2025 GAAP EPS of $0.02 included $392 million of pre-tax impairments and other charges and a $125 million tax valuation allowance against U.S. foreign tax credits.

How Halliburton splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Halliburton's Completion and Production revenue was $3.1 billion in Q3 2026, down 4% from $3.2 billion in Q3 2025, 54% of total revenue.
• Halliburton's Drilling and Evaluation revenue was $2.6 billion in Q3 2026, up 10% from $2.4 billion in Q3 2025, 46% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

From the earnings release

Halliburton's release gives no numeric outlook for Q4 2026. The 2027 outlook is in the chief executive's quote in the release.

In its Q3 2026 release (Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO), Halliburton said:

“Based on our early outlook for 2027, I expect mid-single digit revenue growth and operating margins of about 15%, an approximately 200 basis point improvement.”

“This outlook assumes a flat North America market and does not require any recovery in North America hydraulic fracturing.”

This is the company's own guidance as of Oct 20, 2026, quoted as given. Walnut does not make forecasts of its own. Analyst estimates for the coming quarters are on the HAL forecast page.

Halliburton's next report is expected around January 20, 2027, a date estimated from its reporting history that the company has not yet confirmed. This page will show Q3 2026 until those results are out and have been checked against the release.

Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.

• Q3 2026 (this page), reported Oct 20, 2026

Halliburton reports two segments. Completion and Production, which covers cementing, stimulation, specialty chemicals, intervention, pressure control, artificial lift and completion tools, had revenue of $3,089 million in Q3 2026. Drilling and Evaluation, which covers drilling, fluids, evaluation and wellbore placement, had $2,614 million. Total revenue was $5,703 million. (Halliburton Q3 2026 release, Oct 20, 2026; Halliburton Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 6, 2026)

Completion and Production revenue fell $134 million, or 4%, from a year earlier, which Halliburton attributed mainly to lower stimulation activity in North America and lower completion tool sales in Middle East/Asia. Drilling and Evaluation revenue rose $237 million, or 10%. A significant portion of Completion and Production is hydraulic fracturing for shale oil and gas customers, according to the 10-K. (Halliburton Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 23, 2026; Halliburton Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 6, 2026)

By region, North America revenue was $2,160 million, down 9% on lower stimulation activity and the sale of part of Halliburton's chemical business. International revenue grew: Latin America $1,122 million (up 13%, led by Mexico, Argentina and Ecuador), Europe/Africa/CIS $1,016 million (up 23%) and Middle East/Asia $1,405 million. (Halliburton Q3 2026 release, Oct 20, 2026; Halliburton Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 23, 2026)

The United States was 37% of Halliburton's revenue in the first nine months of 2026, against 39% a year earlier, and no other country exceeded 10%. Customers in Mexico accounted for 10% of net trade receivables at September 30, 2026. In the quarter Halliburton re-established operations in Venezuela. (Halliburton Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 23, 2026)

Halliburton's GAAP diluted EPS was $0.50 in Q3 2026 and adjusted EPS was $0.60. The difference is a pre-tax charge of $107 million for impairments and other items, mainly $107 million of severance from rationalizing its global headcount and $25 million of inventory costs and write-downs, partly offset by a $36 million gain on selling part of an equity investment. (Halliburton Q3 2026 release, Oct 20, 2026)

Halliburton's Q3 2025 GAAP EPS of $0.02 reflected $392 million of impairments and other charges and a $125 million tax valuation allowance against its U.S. foreign tax credits, which pushed that quarter's effective tax rate to 90.9%. The Q3 2026 effective tax rate was 18.3%. (Halliburton Q3 2026 release, Oct 20, 2026; Halliburton Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 23, 2026)

Buybacks cut Halliburton's diluted share count to 832 million, from 850 million a year earlier. Halliburton repurchased 7.3 million shares for $252 million in the quarter, and about $1.5 billion remained authorized. It also paid dividends of $0.17 per share and spent $42 million on its SAP S4 migration, which it reports outside segment results. (Halliburton Q3 2026 release, Oct 20, 2026; Halliburton Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 23, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Halliburton's release gives no numeric guidance for the next quarter. Its chief executive gave an early outlook for 2027 of mid-single digit revenue growth and operating margins of about 15%, an approximately 200 basis point improvement, assuming a flat North America market and no recovery in North America hydraulic fracturing. (Halliburton Q3 2026 release, Oct 20, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Halliburton, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Halliburton's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning HAL is on is HAL a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the HAL forecast, and what the company does is on the Halliburton (HAL) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Halliburton published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
