FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Patterson-UTI (PTEN - Free Report) . Shares have added about 24.5% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Patterson-UTI due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

Patterson-UTI Energy Q2 Earnings & Revenues Beat EstimatesPatterson-UTI Energy (PTEN - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of break-even, outperforming the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 3 cents per share. The bottom line improved from the year-ago quarter's adjusted loss of 6 cents, primarily due to stronger performance in its Completion Services segment and year-over-year improvement in the Drilling Products and Other operations.

Houston, TX-based oil and gas drilling company’s total revenues of $1.23 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.15 billion by 7%. The top line also increased about 0.7% year over year, driven by improved activity and pricing in the Completion Services segment, along with higher revenues from Drilling Products and Other operations.

PTEN’s board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share, payable on Sept. 15, 2026, to shareholders of record as of Sept. 1.

PTEN’s Q2 Segmental PerformancesDrilling Services: Revenues in this segment totaled $373.5 million, down 7.5% from the year-ago quarter's $403.8 million, but beat our estimate of $350.7 million.

Operating income declined to $22.7 million from $40.6 million a year ago, primarily due to a non-cash charge related to the Colombia exit. The reported figure also missed our operating income estimate of $41.1 million. 

Completion Services: Segment revenues increased 4.8% year over year to $753.6 million from $719.3 million and beat our estimate of $659.1 million.

Operating income totaled $8.2 million against an operating loss of $29.2 million in the prior-year quarter. This improvement was driven by high pressure pumping utilization, better pricing and continued growth in integrated completion services. The reported figure beat our expectation of an operating loss of $17.6 million. 

Drilling Products: Revenues increased 3.3% year over year to $91.3 million from $88.4 million and beat our estimate of $80.4 million.

Operating income improved to $8.3 million from $6.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Record international revenues and stronger U.S. revenue per industry rig offset disruptions in the Middle East and seasonal weakness in Canada. However, the reported operating income beat our estimate of $2.7 million.

Other: Revenues amounted to $9.5 million, up 21.8% from the year-ago quarter’s $7.8 million and beat our estimate of $7.7 million.

Operating income improved to $5.1 million from a loss of $2 million in the second quarter of 2025, aided by higher oil prices. The reported figure beat our operating income estimate of $2.3 million.

PTEN’s Capital Expenditure & Financial PositionIn the reported quarter, PTEN spent $155.9 million on capital programs compared with $144.2 million in the prior-year period.  As of June 30, 2026, this company had cash and cash equivalents of $203.2 million and long-term debt of $1.23 billion. Its debt-to-capitalization was 28.5%. 

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a upward trend in estimates revision.

The consensus estimate has shifted 96.88% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresAt this time, Patterson-UTI has a nice Growth Score of B, however its Momentum Score is doing a bit better with an A. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a score of B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile for this investment strategy.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

OutlookEstimates have been trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. Notably, Patterson-UTI has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Performance of an Industry PlayerPatterson-UTI belongs to the Zacks Oil and Gas - Drilling industry. Another stock from the same industry, Noble Corporation PLC (NE - Free Report) , has gained 12.8% over the past month. More than a month has passed since the company reported results for the quarter ended June 2026.

Noble Corporation PLC reported revenues of $719.69 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -15.2%. EPS of $0.01 for the same period compares with $0.13 a year ago.

Noble Corporation PLC is expected to post earnings of $0.13 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -31.6%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -45.7%.

The overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions translate into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for Noble Corporation PLC. Also, the stock has a VGM Score of D.

Key Takeaways Patterson-UTI beat estimates as quarterly revenues hit $1.2 billion and adjusted earnings broke even.PTEN secured 10%-15% price increases on new rig contracts and expects its U.S. rig count above 100.PTEN sees Q3 Completion Services profit near $140 million, while 2026 revenues are set to decline. Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. (PTEN - Free Report) shares have gained 20% in the past month as U.S. drilling activity, equipment utilization and service pricing improve. The advance follows a weaker 12-week stretch, making the reversal notable.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

The operating backdrop is strengthening, but the rally raises a valuation question. Investors must weigh better contract economics and rising activity against continued losses, commodity sensitivity and the possibility that some of the expected 2027 recovery is already reflected in the stock.

Why PTEN’s One-Month Rally Stands OutPTEN’s impressive four-week gain contrasts with a 17% decline over the past 12 weeks. The 57.1% increase in the current-year earnings estimate over four weeks adds fundamental context to the shift.

The latest quarter provided firmer operating evidence. Adjusted earnings were break-even versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a 3-cent loss, while revenues of $1.2 billion beat the consensus mark by 7%. Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (HP - Free Report) is a relevant land-drilling peer with a global drilling platform. Nabors Industries Ltd. (NBR - Free Report) also competes through drilling services and technology, making both useful industry reference points.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

PTEN’s Rig Pricing Supports the MomentumU.S. land activity strengthened during the second quarter as private operators reacted to better commodity economics. Patterson-UTI expects its average U.S. rig count to reach about 100 in the third quarter and finish above that level.

Tight availability helped PTEN secure pricing increases of roughly 10% to 15% on newly awarded contracts versus first-quarter levels. Upgraded rigs are earning several thousand dollars more per day than standard super-spec units, while contracts extending into 2027 improve revenue visibility.

Patterson-UTI’s Frac Fleet Adds Another TailwindNatural gas-powered frac equipment is nearly fully utilized across the industry, while much of the remaining capacity consists of older diesel units that customers prefer to avoid. PTEN’s frac calendar remained largely full in the second quarter as pricing improved.

Completion Services adjusted gross profit is expected to reach about $140 million in the third quarter, up from $123 million in the second quarter. Completion work tied to recent drilling gains could tighten capable equipment supply into 2027.

PTEN Still Faces Earnings and Commodity RisksThe better operating picture has not eliminated earnings pressure. Patterson-UTI posted a second-quarter net loss attributable to common shareholders of $20 million, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate calls for a loss of 6 cents per share in 2026.

Revenues are projected to decline to about $4.6 billion in 2026 from $4.8 billion in 2025. A renewed drop in oil or natural gas prices could slow U.S. shale spending, weakening demand and pricing across drilling and completion operations.

Can Patterson-UTI Extend the Rally?Rising utilization, firmer pricing and longer contracts give PTEN a path to better earnings and cash generation. Management expects 2026 adjusted free cash flow to more than cover dividends and sees meaningful improvement in 2027.

The stock has already rebounded sharply. Further upside may depend on whether higher dayrates, completion margins and activity translate into sustained net income rather than only better segment-level results.

PTEN’s Buy Signal Gets Support From Style ScoresPTEN’s operating momentum supports a constructive stance, but the rally must be judged against execution risk and the cyclicality of U.S. shale spending. Better utilization and contract visibility are encouraging, yet losses and commodity exposure still require discipline.

The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). It also has a Value Score of A and VGM Score of A, along with a Growth Score of B and Momentum Score of B. This combination indicates favorable value, growth and momentum characteristics for a top-ranked stock, without removing the company’s earnings and industry risks.

Patterson-UTI Energy’s Q3 OutlookFor the third quarter, the Drilling Services segment is expected to operate at an average U.S. rig count of approximately 100 rigs, with adjusted gross profit projected at around $145 million, supported by higher pricing and increased activity. Completion Services' adjusted gross profit is expected to be roughly $140 million on near-full utilization and additional pricing gains. Drilling Products' adjusted gross profit is forecasted at about $40 million, benefiting from stronger U.S. drilling activity and seasonal recovery in Canada.

Other operations are expected to generate an adjusted gross profit of approximately $5 million. The company projects third-quarter G&A expenses of about $70 million, depreciation and amortization expense of around $225 million and continues to expect approximately $600 million of capital expenditures for full-year 2026.

Important Earnings at a GlanceWhile we have discussed PTEN’s second-quarter results in detail, let us take a look at three other key reports in this space.

Houston, TX-based oil and gas equipment and services provider Halliburton (HAL - Free Report) posted second-quarter 2026 adjusted net income per share of 55 cents, marginally beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 54 cents. The outperformance was backed by year-over-year revenue growth. However, the bottom line was flat compared with the prior-year level.

As of June 30, 2026, Halliburton had approximately $2 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $7.1 billion in long-term debt, representing a debt-to-capitalization of 39%.

Fort Worth, TX-based oil and gas exploration and production company Range Resources Corporation (RRC - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 79 cents per share, up 19.7% from 66 cents a year ago. Range Resources’ bottom line topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 56 cents by 41.1%. Strong quarterly results are driven by higher production and improved price realization.

The company’s net debt was $880.8 million at June 30, 2026, down 28% from $1.22 billion at year-end 2025. Range Resources repurchased $78 million of shares and paid $24 million in dividends during the quarter.

Houston, TX-based oil and gas storage and transportation company Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 37 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 31 cents by 19.35%. Earnings increased 32.1% from 28 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Strong quarterly results benefited from broad-based segment growth, led by higher natural gas transportation and gathering volumes. Natural gas transport volumes rose 7%, while gathering volumes increased 26%.

As of June 30, 2026, Kinder Morgan reported $89 million in cash and cash equivalents. Kinder Morgan’s net debt stood at $32.03 billion at quarter-end. The net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio improved to 3.6X from 3.8X at the end of 2025.

Management Commentary

"We delivered a strong quarter, with a positive inflection in activity and momentum building across each of our businesses as we moved through the second quarter and into the third," said Andy Hendricks, Chief Executive Officer. "Our team executed very well, customer activity is growing, and the U.S. onshore market is responding to a more constructive commodity price environment. These results reflect the strategic investments we have made to position Patterson-UTI as a premier oilfield services company across each of our core businesses. Importantly, this second quarter performance was achieved without the benefit of the additional growth capital investments announced during the quarter. We expect those investments to support continued growth into 2027 and beyond, while further strengthening our technology leadership."

"Commodity volatility has continued into the third quarter amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, but the broader market backdrop has become increasingly constructive," continued Mr. Hendricks. "Higher commodity prices contributed to increased U.S. onshore drilling activity during the second quarter, and that momentum has carried into the third. As the quarter progresses, we expect both drilling and completion activity to continue building. In Drilling Services, we have already signed contracts for additional rigs and are advancing the reactivation and upgrade work needed to activate those rigs. In Completion Services, our fleet was effectively sold out prior to industry activity increasing, and customer discussions around price increases remain very constructive, along with growing interest in our new Emerald natural gas direct drive technology and the added value of our integrated completion services. Taken together, these trends reinforce our confidence in the trajectory of our businesses and our ability to deliver additional returns for investors."

"Activity is ramping faster than we initially expected, and we are moving decisively to capture opportunities that should create meaningful long-term value for Patterson-UTI," said Andy Smith, Chief Financial Officer. "Seasonally, working capital in the first half is typically a use of cash for the company, and the stronger pace of activity required a larger working capital investment in the first half of the year as we supported higher customer demand. Working capital typically reverses somewhat in the second half. Importantly, even as we fund working capital and capital investments that strengthen earnings power over time, we still expect full-year 2026 free cash flow to more than cover our 2026 dividend payments, and we expect free cash flow to improve in 2027."

Drilling Services

Second quarter Drilling Services revenue was $374 million, and adjusted gross profit(3) was $114 million. During the quarter, we made the decision to exit our Contract Drilling operations in Colombia, where we operated less than one rig on average during the period. In connection with this decision, our Direct Operating Costs include a non-cash charge of approximately $20 million, primarily related to the write-down of inventory that supported older rig technology in Colombia and the write-down of other assets in the country. Excluding these items, Drilling Services adjusted gross profit would have been $134 million.

U.S. Contract Drilling operating days totaled 8,361 during the second quarter, with an average of 92 rigs operating during the period. Activity strengthened as the quarter progressed, and we exited the quarter with 96 rigs operating. Higher demand, together with growing customer interest in structural rig upgrades, supported approximately 10-15% pricing increases on recently awarded term contracts compared to levels at the start of the year. Directional Drilling also delivered a strong quarter, driven in part by continued growth in our downhole motor rental business.

Completion Services

Second quarter Completion Services revenue totaled $754 million, with adjusted gross profit of $123 million.

Completion Services delivered stronger second quarter results, driven by high pressure pumping utilization, improved pricing, and continued growth in our integrated service offering. Industry capacity remained tight throughout the quarter, and the recent increase in rig count has not yet fully flowed through to completion demand, which typically follows drilling activity with a three- to six-month lag. Against this strengthening backdrop, revenue per pump hour increased by a mid-single digit percentage sequentially, on average, supported by improved core pressure pumping pricing and a higher contribution from integrated completion services. Adjusted gross profit increased across all service lines, with the strongest percentage increase coming from our Power Solutions natural gas fueling business.

Drilling Products

Second quarter Drilling Products revenue totaled $91 million, with adjusted gross profit of $37 million.

Drilling Products delivered its strongest quarterly revenue since Patterson-UTI completed the Ulterra acquisition in 2023, overcoming challenges in the Middle East, our largest international market, and the seasonal spring breakup in Canada. International revenue reached a company record, while U.S. revenue per industry rig approached record levels, reflecting strong execution across multiple points in the rig-count cycle.

Other

Second quarter Other revenue totaled $9 million, with adjusted gross profit of $7 million.

Outlook

In Drilling Services, we expect our average U.S. rig count to be approximately 100 in the third quarter, and we expect to exit the quarter higher than the quarterly average. Results should also benefit from a full quarter of the higher pricing achieved during the second quarter as well as additional pricing improvements in the third quarter. Overall, we expect Drilling Services adjusted gross profit to be approximately $145 million in the third quarter.

In Completion Services, we expect third quarter adjusted gross profit to be approximately $140 million, supported by near-full utilization across our active frac equipment and additional pricing improvement compared to the second quarter. While we increased our capital expenditure budget during the second quarter, our strategy remains focused on high-return, 100% natural gas, Emerald investments and disciplined fleet management. We will continue decommissioning diesel assets over time, and we do not expect active horsepower to increase during the second half of 2026.

In Drilling Products, we expect third quarter adjusted gross profit to be approximately $40 million, driven by higher drilling activity in the United States, and the seasonal recovery from spring breakup in Canada.

We expect Other adjusted gross profit in the third quarter to be approximately $5 million.

For the third quarter, we expect general and administrative expense to be approximately $70 million and depreciation, depletion, amortization, and impairment expense to be approximately $225 million.

Consistent with our update during the second quarter, total capital expenditures, net of asset sales, are still expected to be approximately $600 million in 2026.

Except for cash dividends per common share, all references to "per share" in this press release are diluted earnings per common share as defined within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260.

Adjusted gross profit, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as revenues less direct operating costs (excluding depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense). See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for a reconciliation of GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit by segment.

Operational data relates to our contract drilling business. A rig is considered to be operating if it is earning revenue pursuant to a contract on a given day.

Other includes our oilfield rentals business, prior to its divestiture in April 2025, and oil and natural gas working interests.

Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense, exit costs, noncontrolling investment write-down, legal accruals and settlements, impairment of goodwill and merger and integration expense. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it provides to both management and investors additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and a comparison of the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income (loss). Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies.

Key Takeaways Patterson-UTI Energy reports Q2 2026 earnings on July 29, with estimates calling for a 3-cent per-share loss.PTEN's lower direct operating costs and reduced depreciation may have contributed to its Q2 results.PTEN carries a negative Earnings ESP despite beating earnings estimates in three of the past four quarters. Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. (PTEN - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2026 earnings on July 29. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at a loss of 3 cents per share on revenues of $1.15 billion.

Let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced PTEN’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Before that, it’s worth taking a look at the company’s performance in the last reported quarter.

Highlights of PTEN’s Q1 Earnings & Surprise HistoryIn the last reported quarter, the Houston, TX-based oil and gas drilling company’s earnings beat the consensus mark. Patterson-UTI Energy reported a first-quarter 2026 adjusted net loss of 6 cents per share, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a 10-cent loss. This was due to a decrease in operating income in its Drilling Services, Completion Services and Drilling Products segments. Total revenues of $1.1 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.1%.

PTEN’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the mark once, delivering an average surprise of 27.96%

This is depicted in the graph below:

Trend in PTEN’s Estimate RevisionThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2026 earnings has not experienced any upward or downward movements in the past seven days. The estimated figure indicates a 5.85% year-over-year decline. However, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues indicates an increase of about 5.85% from the year-ago period’s actual.

Factors to Consider Ahead of PTEN’s Q2 ReleasePTEN generates revenues by providing drilling, completion and related services to oil and gas producers. The company supports customers throughout the well lifecycle by drilling wells, completing them and supplying the equipment and technologies required for these operations. The reduction in PTEN's costs is likely to have supported its bottom line. The company’s operating costs and expenses are projected to reach $1.11 billion in the second quarter, which is 11% up from the year-ago period’s level. Direct operating costs are projected to be $825.6 million, down 11.2% year over year, while depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expenses are estimated to be $220.1 million, representing a 15.9% decline from the prior-year period.

On the bearish side, PTEN’s revenues are likely to have come under pressure in the quarter to be reported. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is expected to be down from the year-ago quarter’s $1.22 billion. The decline is likely to have reflected weaker year-over-year performance across the company’s Drilling Services, Completion Services, Drilling Products and Other segments.

The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of beating estimates. However, that is not the case here.
