What the Analysts think about Hunting
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Hunting stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Hunting stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Subsea is becoming a stronger, higher-margin growth engine. Hunting won $63.5 million of titanium stress-joint orders for ExxonMobil’s Guyana development, with deliveries running through 2028 and revenue starting in the second half of 2026. (Business Wire, Investegate)
Perforating Systems is gaining traction beyond the group’s traditional pipe business. International demand for unconventional-well products and market-share gains in North America helped the division outperform expectations, while the order book rose to about $387 million and the tender pipeline remained close to $1 billion. (Reuters, Investegate)
Shareholder returns are improving despite the temporary earnings setback. Hunting raised its interim dividend from 6.2 cents to 7.0 cents per share and is progressing with a $40 million buyback, while management expects year-end cash to recover to roughly $50–60 million as working capital unwinds. (Investegate, American Banking News)
The first half showed weaker underlying momentum. Revenue fell 6% to $497.0 million, EBITDA dropped 12% to $62.1 million and the margin narrowed to 12%, reflecting the loss of prior-year Kuwait orders and slower Advanced Manufacturing activity. (Investegate, Reuters)
The Kuwait Oil Company tender remains a material execution and geopolitical risk. The process is being rerun after Middle East disruption, any resulting contracts will not contribute until 2027, and Hunting cut 2026 EBITDA guidance by about $10 million; the outcome could also reduce 2027 EBITDA by up to a similar amount against current consensus. (Investegate, Reuters)
Cash conversion is a pressure point. Hunting reported negative first-half free cash flow of $27.8 million and net debt of $51.4 million, while working capital rose sharply; the investment case depends on that build unwinding in the second half as planned. (Investegate, American Banking News)
