Bulls say / Bears say

Patterson-UTI averaged 100 US rigs in July and August and expects to exit the third quarter with 104, while reporting continued momentum in leading-edge day rates. More active rigs and better pricing could lift drilling revenue and margins. (StockTitan)
The company expects completion equipment to be highly utilised into early 2027, with Q3 pricing and activity tracking to plan. More than 12-month lead times for new gas-powered equipment point to tight supply that could support further price recovery. (StockTitan)
Management expects 2026 adjusted free cash flow to more than cover the annual dividend, despite about $600 million of planned net capital spending. If achieved, that would support shareholder returns while funding fleet upgrades. (StockTitan)
Despite second-quarter revenue of about $1.23 billion, Patterson-UTI reported a $19.6 million net loss and adjusted net income of only about $0.6 million. The activity rebound has yet to translate into meaningful earnings for shareholders. (StockTitan)
First-half operating cash flow was about $120 million against roughly $273 million of capital spending, and cash fell to about $203 million from $421 million at year-end. That weak cash conversion makes the planned $600 million of 2026 net capex a risk if the recovery disappoints. (StockTitan)
UBS resumed coverage at Neutral and said much of the supportive outlook may already be reflected in the share price after a sharp year-to-date rise. That leaves less room for upside if rig growth or frac-pricing recovery falls short. (Investing.com)
