Exxon Mobil Corp. forecasted a reduction in its second-quarter earnings by approximately $1.5 billion due to lower oil and gas prices amid a volatile commodity market. The energy sector faced challenges as Exxon’s shares declined following this outlook. In contrast, Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) reported strong second-quarter 2025 results with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.94, revenue surpassing $5 billion for the first time at $5.03 billion, and net income of $1.39 billion, driven by a 9% year-over-year revenue increase and a 37% pre-tax margin. Halliburton posted Q2 revenue of $5.5 billion, slightly above estimates, with adjusted EPS of $0.55, meeting expectations, but warned of a softer oilfield services market ahead, citing a 9% year-over-year decline in North America revenue due to falling rig counts and slower drilling activity. EQT Corporation beat profit estimates with an adjusted EPS of $0.45 and reported Q2 sales volume of 568 billion cubic feet equivalent (BCFE), providing full-year sales volume guidance of 2,300 to 2,400 BCFE and a capital expenditure forecast between $2.30 billion and $2.45 billion. Baker Hughes exceeded Q2 earnings estimates with revenue of $6.91 billion, adjusted EPS of $0.63, net income of $701 million, and a record backlog of $31.3 billion, supported by strong demand for natural gas technology. Equinor reported Q2 revenue of $25.15 billion, above estimates, with adjusted operating income of $6.53 billion and adjusted operating income after tax of $1.74 billion, slightly below expectations, reflecting a drop in core profit due to lower oil prices. Equinor’s average production was 2.10 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, and it declared a dividend of $0.37 per share.
