Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

NOV reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $2.13 billion, down 2% from a year earlier but up 4% from the first quarter, and net income of $112 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, up $4 million year-over-year. The results include a benefit of about $40 million related to tariff refunds, and management expects third-quarter revenue flat to up 2% year-over-year with Adjusted EBITDA of $240 million to $270 million, compared with $283 million in the second quarter. Lower revenue alongside slightly higher profit makes the results mixed for shareholders.
