How Can Analysts Get It So Wrong? SLB Earnings

How can analysts get it so wrong?
The Houston, Texas-based company reported a profit of $302 million, or 23 cents per share, down from $1.66 billion, or $1.26 per share, a year ago. Fourth quarter revenue rose 6% from a year ago to $12.64 billion.
Wall Street analysts expected earnings of $1.46 per share and revenue of $12.72 billion.
Based on how shares did, it suggests that analysts did not know how much SLB was writing down some assets. Along that line:
Schlumberger Ltd. said Thursday it has recorded a $296 million charge reflecting a headcount reduction of 9,000. The oil-services provider didn't specify whether the reductions had already taken place. "In response to lower commodity pricing and anticipated lower exploration and production spending in 2015, Schlumberger decided to reduce its overall headcount to better align with anticipated activity levels for 2015," the company said in a release. In December, the company said it would record a $800 million charge as it restructured its WesternGeco marine seismic fleet by reducing its fleet.
