PUMP ProPetro Holding
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for ProPetro Holding (PUMP - Free Report) . Shares have added about 3.3% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is ProPetro due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for ProPetro Holding Corp. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

ProPetro Q2 Loss Wider Than Expected, Revenues Beat EstimateProPetro Holding reported a second-quarter 2026 loss of 7 cents per share, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 1 cent. This was due to higher fleet activation costs, unexpected downtime on an out-of-basin project, severe weather in the Permian Basin during June and increased operating expenses, which weighed on earnings. The bottom line was unchanged from the year-ago quarter’s loss of 7 cents.

Revenues of $306 million beat the Zacks consensus estimate of $301 million by 1.8%, primarily due to higher-than-expected Power Generation, Hydraulic Fracturing and Cementing segment revenues, which beat consensus estimates by 97%, 0.5% and 10%, respectively. However, the metric declined 6.2% year over year from $326.2 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower Wireline revenues, which missed the consensus estimate by 4.9%.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $44.8 million, up 23% from $36.4 million in the prior quarter. The metric represented roughly 15% of revenues and included $15.8 million of operating lease expense related to the company’s FORCE electric fleets. However, the metric missed our estimate of $46.2 million. 

PUMP’s Business Reporting SegmentsProPetro conducts its operations through four reporting segments: Hydraulic Fracturing, Wireline, Cementing and Power Generation. Total revenues increased 13% sequentially from $271 million, primarily due to higher completions utilization and incremental PROPWR deployments.

Hydraulic fracturing revenues totaled $207.2 million, up 15.6% from $179.3 million in the prior quarter. However, the figure missed our estimate of $210.2 million. This segment accounted for approximately 68% of ProPetro’s consolidated second-quarter revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA from hydraulic fracturing increased 19.3% sequentially to $44.2 million. However, performance was affected by upfront maintenance and deployment costs associated with activating the 12th fleet, significant downtime on a temporary out-of-basin customer project and severe Permian Basin weather in June.

Wireline revenues totaled $57.5 million, down 6.9% from the previous quarter. However, the figure beat our estimate of $55.2 million.  Adjusted EBITDA from the segment declined 16.2% sequentially to $11.4 million. Management nevertheless described wireline utilization, pricing and margins as resilient.

Cementing revenues increased 15.2% sequentially to $32 million. The figure beat our estimate of $30.5 million. Segment adjusted EBITDA surged to $5.5 million from $2.1 million, supported by improving activity and higher Permian Basin drilling levels.

Power generation revenues rose to $9.3 million from $2.2 million in the prior quarter. The figure beat our estimate of $1.1 million. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $0.7 million from $5.3 million. PROPWR also generated positive EBITDA during the quarter’s final two months.

PUMP’s Costs & Financial PositionTotal costs and expenses were $309 million for the second quarter, which was down 6.2% from the prior-year quarter’s level.Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, totaled $234 million. General and administrative expenses increased to $33.1 million from $27.2 million sequentially, primarily due to costs associated with PROPWR’s growth and financing activities. Depreciation and amortization rose to $43.5 million from $40.6 million in the prior quarter. The company reported a net loss of $8.1 million compared with a loss of $3.6 million in the first quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $66 million from $3 million. The improvement reflected higher adjusted EBITDA and approximately $20 million of working-capital tailwinds. Free cash flow from the completions business totaled $51.1 million.

As of June 30, 2026, ProPetro had $784 million in cash and cash equivalents, including proceeds from its $690 million convertible senior notes offering. Total liquidity was $905 million, including $121 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. Long-term debt amounted to $764.9 million. The total debt-to-total capital was 44.4%.

Capital expenditures paid were $61 million, while incurred capital expenditures totaled $71 million. Approximately $24 million supported completions, while $47 million funded PROPWR equipment orders.

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

The consensus estimate has shifted -115% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresCurrently, ProPetro has a average Growth Score of C, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock was allocated a grade of B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile for value investors.

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

OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, ProPetro has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Performance of an Industry PlayerProPetro is part of the Zacks Oil and Gas - Field Services industry. Over the past month, Halliburton (HAL - Free Report) , a stock from the same industry, has gained 12.2%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended June 2026 more than a month ago.

Halliburton reported revenues of $5.71 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +3.7%. EPS of $0.55 for the same period compares with $0.55 a year ago.

For the current quarter, Halliburton is expected to post earnings of $0.58 per share, indicating no change from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -0.4% over the last 30 days.

Halliburton has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) based on the overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions. Additionally, the stock has a VGM Score of C.

PUMP generuje hotovost, ale tržní ocenění zůstává vysoké
PUMP ProPetro Holding
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways PUMP generated $51 million of Q2 2026 free cash flow as its completions business stayed resilient.PUMP expanded contracted power-generation capacity to about 350 MW with positive monthly EBITDA.PUMP trades well above its five-year median EV/EBITDA, while capital spending and debt have increased. ProPetro Holding Corp. (PUMP - Free Report) combines a cash-generating Permian completions platform with an emerging power-generation business. That mix offers two earnings drivers, but it also raises the cost and execution burden.

PROPWR’s commercial progress is real, yet PUMP’s valuation already sits well above its own historical norm. Investors therefore have to weigh visible growth milestones against spending needs, rising debt and a still-developing earnings contribution.

PUMP's Core Business Is Producing CashProPetro’s completions business generated $51 million of free cash flow in the second quarter of 2026 despite severe Permian weather, upfront costs tied to activating a 12th fleet and unexpected downtime on a temporary out-of-basin project. Disciplined capital deployment, lower ongoing maintenance intensity and an upgraded fleet base helped preserve cash generation.

The company also benefits from long-standing relationships with large Permian customers and demand for natural gas-burning and electric fleets. Halliburton Company (HAL - Free Report) provides a useful industry reference. Its second-quarter 2026 Completion and Production revenues rose 6% sequentially, supported partly by increased stimulation activity in the Western Hemisphere, signaling firmer conditions across a market that remains cyclical.

PROPWR Gives PUMP a New Growth EnginePROPWR increased contracted power-generation capacity to approximately 350 megawatts. Assets are operating at a Midwest hyperscaler data-center site and meeting performance obligations, while advanced negotiations cover more than 100 megawatts for oil and gas projects and several hundred megawatts of data-center opportunities.

The segment generated positive EBITDA in each of the final two months of the quarter, an early sign that deployments can translate into earnings. Caterpillar Inc. (CAT - Free Report) is central to this expansion through a framework that gives PROPWR access to as much as 2.1 gigawatts of additional generation capacity by 2031.

PUMP's Valuation Leaves Limited Room for MisstepsPUMP trades at 8.75X trailing 12-month enterprise value to EBITDA. That is close to the sub-industry multiple of 8.86X but far above the stock’s five-year median of 4.33X.

The premium to PUMP’s own history suggests that investors are already assigning value to PROPWR’s expected growth. Delayed contracts, slower deployments or weaker profitability could pressure the multiple before power generation becomes a larger earnings contributor.

Capital Needs Temper PUMP's Upside CaseManagement expects 2026 incurred capital expenditures of $525-$595 million, including $400-$450 million for PROPWR.  Long-term debt surged to $765 million from $79 million in the prior quarter after the company issued convertible notes in May to finance its growth initiatives.

Liquidity of $905 million provides a sizable cushion. ProPetro also had $121 million of availability under its asset-based lending facility, while Caterpillar-related financing capacity was increased to $167 million. These resources ease near-term funding pressure but do not eliminate the need to convert negotiations into contracts with attractive pricing, duration and risk allocation.

PUMP's Scores Point to Patience, Not UrgencyThe investment case supports a hold-or-wait posture. The completions platform is producing cash and PROPWR has reached meaningful commercial milestones, but the current valuation offers less protection against execution setbacks.

PUMP currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), alongside a VGM Score of B and a Value Score of B. Its Momentum Score of A is constructive, but the Growth Score of C and the execution demands surrounding PROPWR argue against treating the favorable scores as a clear buying signal. The combination points to patience while investors wait for more consistent earnings progress. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Key Takeaways PUMP reported a wider Q2 loss as higher costs, downtime and severe weather weighed on earnings.ProPetro beat revenue estimates, driven by Power Generation, Hydraulic Fracturing and Cementing results.PUMP lowered 2026 capital spending guidance and expanded PROPWR's contracted power capacity. ProPetro Holding Corp. (PUMP - Free Report) reported a second-quarter 2026 loss of 7 cents per share, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 1 cent. This was due to higher fleet activation costs, unexpected downtime on an out-of-basin project, severe weather in the Permian Basin during June and increased operating expenses, which weighed on earnings. The bottom line was unchanged from the year-ago quarter’s loss of 7 cents.

Revenues of $306 million beat the Zacks consensus estimate of $301 million by 1.66%, primarily due to higher-than-expected Power Generation, Hydraulic Fracturing and Cementing segment revenues, which beat consensus estimates by 97%, 0.5% and 10%, respectively. However, the metric declined 6.2% year over year from $326.2 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower Wireline revenues, which missed the consensus estimate by 4.9%.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $44.8 million, up 23% from $36.4 million in the prior quarter. The metric represented roughly 15% of revenues and included $15.8 million of operating lease expense related to the company’s FORCE electric fleets. However, the metric missed our estimate of $46.2 million.

Wireline revenues totaled $57.5 million, down 6.9% from the previous quarter. However, the figure beat our estimate of $55.2 million.  Adjusted EBITDA from the segment declined 16.2% sequentially to $11.4 million. Management nevertheless described wireline utilization, pricing and margins as resilient.

Cementing revenues increased 15.2% sequentially to $32 million. Moreover, the figure beat our estimate of $30.5 million. Segment adjusted EBITDA surged to $5.5 million from $2.1 million, supported by improving activity and higher Permian Basin drilling levels.

Power generation revenues rose to $9.3 million from $2.2 million in the prior quarter. Moreover, the figure beat our estimate of $1.1 million. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $0.7 million from $5.3 million. PROPWR also generated positive EBITDA during the quarter’s final two months.

ProPetro’s PROPWR Expansion Gains MomentumPROPWR added approximately 110 megawatts of contracted power generation capacity across two projects. One project supports a leading integrated upstream operator in the Permian Basin, while the other serves an industrial customer. These awards increased total committed capacity to about 350 megawatts.

The company is also in advanced negotiations for more than 100 megawatts supporting other oil and gas operations. Its data center pipeline includes several hundred megawatts in advanced discussions.

Assets are operating at a Midwest hyperscaler data center site, providing prime behind-the-meter power at scale. ProPetro expects most of PROPWR’s future capacity to serve data center customers, which generally offer longer contract terms than oil and gas and industrial projects.

PUMP’s Costs and Cash FlowTotal costs and expenses were $308 million for the second quarter, which was up 10.9% from the prior-year quarter’s level.Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, totaled $234 million. General and administrative expenses increased to $33.1 million from $27.2 million sequentially, primarily due to costs associated with PROPWR’s growth and financing activities.

Depreciation and amortization rose to $43.5 million from $40.6 million in the prior quarter. The company reported a net loss of $8.1 million compared with a loss of $3.6 million in the first quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $66 million from $3 million. The improvement reflected higher adjusted EBITDA and approximately $20 million of working-capital tailwinds. Free cash flow from the completions business totaled $51.1 million.

ProPetro’s Financial PositionAs of June 30, 2026, ProPetro had $784 million in cash and cash equivalents, including proceeds from its $690 million convertible senior notes offering. Total liquidity was $905 million, including $121 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. Long-term debt amounted to $764.9 million. The total debt-to-total capital was 44.4%.

Capital expenditures paid were $61 million, while incurred capital expenditures totaled $71 million. Approximately $24 million supported completions, while $47 million funded PROPWR equipment orders.

PUMP’s 2026 OutlookProPetro now expects 2026 capital expenditures of $525-$595 million, down from the previous guidance of $540-$610 million. Capital spending for the completions business is projected at $125-$145 million, compared with the earlier outlook of $140-$160 million, primarily due to the timing of planned FORCE electric fleet buyouts. The company now expects to complete one fleet buyout in 2026, with the second shifted to early 2027, while reaffirming its long-term plan to acquire all five FORCE electric fleets.

This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company maintained its 2026 PROPWR capital expenditure guidance of $400-$450 million, which includes equipment deliveries and Caterpillar-related equipment down payments. Management also reiterated its cost guidance of approximately $1.4-$1.5 million per megawatt, noting that financing arrangements are expected to reduce near-term cash outflows.

ProPetro expects to activate its 13th hydraulic fracturing fleet later in the third quarter, supported by improving customer demand in the Permian Basin. Management also expects PROPWR to begin generating positive and increasingly meaningful earnings in the second half of 2026 and into 2027 as deployments scale across its contracted customer base.

Important Earnings at a GlanceWhile we have discussed PUMP’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. Halliburton’s 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.

The Energy Trade Is Bigger Than Oil Prices: 3 Stocks to Buy and 2 to SellProPetro NYSE: PUMP reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $306 million, up 13% from the prior quarter, while its net loss widened to $8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, from a $4 million loss in the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA rose 23% sequentially to $45 million, equal to 15% of revenue.

Get ProPetro alerts:

Chief Executive Officer Sam Sledge said the company’s underlying completions business remained resilient and generated free cash flow despite operational disruptions during the quarter. Those headwinds included severe June weather in the Permian Basin, costs associated with increasing the active frac fleet count from 11 to 12, and unexpected downtime on a temporary customer project outside the Permian.

“Standing up a new fleet requires upfront maintenance and deployment costs before the full earnings benefit is realized,” Sledge said. The temporarily relocated fleet has since returned to the Permian Basin.

Completions outlook and fleet expansion ProPetro said it plans to activate a 13th frac fleet, which is expected to begin contributing near the end of the third quarter. Sledge said the fleet will serve a new blue-chip exploration and production customer and represents an addition beyond the company’s expectations entering the year.

President and Chief Operating Officer Adam Muñoz said redeploying a fleet generally takes roughly 60 to 90 days. Sledge said ProPetro does not currently intend to add a 14th fleet, citing higher redevelopment costs, the need for portfolio optimization, and a need for further pricing gains and customer contract demand before making such an investment.

Management said it sees a tighter market for completion services in the Permian. Sledge said the basin is operating at roughly a mid-70s active frac-fleet count and that raising the count above the mid-80s would require meaningful investment in new growth capacity rather than replacement equipment. He said there are very few readily available fleets in the market.

The company expects pricing and recontracting opportunities as contracts on much of its active horsepower come up for renewal in the next six to nine months. Management said a significant share of those fleets use next-generation natural gas-burning equipment, which it said remains in strong demand amid the spread between diesel and natural gas prices.

Sledge also said customer planning activity has increased, with some larger public operators bringing forward requests for proposals for 2027 work. He said ProPetro intends to maintain a mix of dedicated contracts and operational flexibility rather than placing all capacity under long-term commitments.

PROPWR adds contracted capacity ProPetro’s PROPWR power-generation business increased contracted capacity to approximately 350 megawatts, up from about 240 megawatts at the time of the company’s prior earnings call. The increase included about 110 megawatts across two projects: one for a leading integrated upstream operator in the Permian and another for an industrial customer.

The company is also in advanced contract negotiations for more than 100 megawatts of additional oil-and-gas-related power capacity. Management said contracts in oil and gas and industrial applications tend to have shorter initial terms than data-center arrangements but offer attractive pricing and returns.

Travis Simmering, president of PROPWR, said one newly contracted Permian microgrid project is close to 100 megawatts and is designed primarily for production-related power needs rather than hydraulic fracturing. He said the company sees additional opportunities with large upstream operators and midstream companies in areas without grid connectivity.

While oil and gas and industrial projects are contributing to near-term earnings, management said it still expects most future PROPWR capacity to serve data centers. The company has a 60-megawatt data-center project operating live and meeting performance obligations, according to Sledge. Simmering said the project began operating ahead of schedule after the company met its targeted deployment timeline.

PROPWR generated positive EBITDA in each of the final two months of the second quarter, management said. The company expects the business to contribute increasingly meaningful earnings in the second half of 2026 and into 2027 as more assets are deployed.

Management said its data-center pipeline includes several hundred megawatts in advanced negotiations, though it acknowledged that long-term agreements can take time because they involve substantial capital commitments, project scheduling, and risk-allocation discussions. Sledge said most data-center contract discussions begin at terms of 10 years, with many extending beyond that period.

Capital spending, liquidity and financing Cash flow from operating activities totaled $66 million in the second quarter, compared with $3 million in the prior quarter. Chief Financial Officer Caleb Weatherl attributed the improvement to higher adjusted EBITDA and working-capital benefits. Working capital provided roughly $20 million of cash in the second quarter, compared with a $32 million use of cash in the first quarter.

Capital expenditures paid totaled $61 million, while capital expenditures incurred were $71 million. Of the incurred total, approximately $24 million supported the completions business and $47 million supported PROPWR equipment orders.

ProPetro lowered its full-year 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $525 million to $595 million from a prior range of $540 million to $610 million. The company now expects completions capital spending of $125 million to $145 million, down from $140 million to $160 million, primarily because one planned buyout of a FORCE electric fleet has shifted into early 2027.

PROPWR capital expenditures are still expected to total approximately $400 million to $450 million in 2026. The company maintained its expected PROPWR equipment cost of roughly $1.4 million to $1.5 million per megawatt, including balance-of-plant costs. ProPetro expects to complete one electric-fleet buyout late in 2026, about three in 2027, and one in 2028. As of June 30, ProPetro held $784 million in cash and cash equivalents, including proceeds from its May issuance of $690 million in convertible senior notes. Total liquidity was $905 million, including $121 million of unused borrowing capacity under its asset-based lending facility. Borrowings under the company’s Caterpillar Financial Services financing agreement stood at $130 million, and that facility was recently expanded to $167 million.

Sledge said ProPetro has raised approximately $1.5 billion over the past 18 months to support PROPWR’s expansion and does not see a near- to medium-term funding need, though management will continue to assess capital-raising opportunities.

ProPetro Holding (PUMP - Free Report) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.07 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.01. This compares to a loss of $0.07 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -600.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this oilfield services company would post a loss of $0.12 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.03, delivering a surprise of +75%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

ProPetro, which belongs to the Zacks Oil and Gas - Field Services industry, posted revenues of $305.81 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.76%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $326.15 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

ProPetro shares have added about 12.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.5%.

What's Next for ProPetro?While ProPetro has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for ProPetro was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.04 on $321.59 million in revenues for the coming quarter and -$0.02 on $1.2 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Oil and Gas - Field Services is currently in the bottom 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, ProFrac Holding Corp. (ACDC - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.29 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +56.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 4.2% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

ProFrac Holding Corp.'s revenues are expected to be $448.95 million, down 10.6% from the year-ago quarter.

FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
ProPetro Holding (PUMP - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 29. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis oilfield services company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.01 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +85.7%.

Revenues are expected to be $300.51 million, down 7.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 60% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for ProPetro?For ProPetro, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +52.38%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination indicates that ProPetro will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that ProPetro would post a loss of$0.12 per share when it actually produced a loss of -$0.03, delivering a surprise of +75.00%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

ProPetro appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
