Schlumberger is a technology company. Co. operates under four divisions: Digital and Integration, which combines Co.'s digital solutions and data products with its Asset Performance Solutions; Reservoir Performance, which develops and deploys technologies and services to evaluate, intervene, and stimulate reservoirs that help customers understand subsurface assets; Well Construction, which provides operators and drilling rig manufacturers with services and products related to designing and constructing a well; and Production Systems which provides equipment and services including subsurface production systems, subsea and surface equipment and services, and midstream production systems. The Schlumberger YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the Schlumberger YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether Schlumberger YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the SLB YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
