LBRT

Liberty Energy Inc. LBRT is set to report second-quarter 2026 earnings on July 22, after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 7 cents per share, and the same for revenues is pinned at $1.09 billion. Let us delve into the factors that might have influenced LBRT’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Before that, it is worth taking a look at the company’s performance in the last reported quarter. In the previously reported quarter, the Denver, CO-based oilfield service company’s earnings beat the consensus mark backed by its focus on technological innovation and strong operational execution. LBRT reported adjusted net income of 6 cents per share, which was in contrast to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 13 cents. Moreover, the company's revenues of $1 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $949 million. LBRT’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate twice in the trailing four quarters while missing the other two, delivering an average negative surprise of 59.22%. This is depicted in the graph below: Liberty Energy Inc. price-eps-surprise | Liberty Energy Inc. Quote The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2026 earnings has been revised 16.7% upward in the past seven days. The estimated figure indicates a 41.7% year-over-year decline. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues indicates growth of 4.6% from the year-ago period. Liberty Energy, a leading provider of hydraulic services and related technologies to onshore oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in North America, appears well positioned to deliver a solid second-quarter 2026 earnings performance, supported by improving completion activity and management's expectation of sequential revenue and profitability growth as fleet utilization increases. The company indicated that customer demand now exceeds available fleet capacity, with accelerating DUC completions and tightening frac market fundamentals beginning to support pricing recovery. Operationally, Liberty Energy continues to leverage record pumping efficiencies and technology-driven productivity gains. Its differentiated digiPrime and digital completion technologies continue to enhance margins and customer value, while strong demand for integrated power solutions from hyperscalers and industrial customers provides an additional growth driver. On the bearish side, so...

Halliburton Company HAL is set to release second-quarter results on July 21. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at a profit of 54 cents per share on revenues of $5.5 billion. Let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced the oilfield service firm’s performance in the June quarter. But it’s worth taking a look at HAL’s previous-quarter performance first. In the last reported quarter, this Houston, TX-based provider of technical products and services to drillers of oil and gas wells beat the consensus mark, reflecting successful cost reduction initiatives. Halliburton reported net income per share of 55 cents, outperforming the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents. Revenues of $5.4 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.4%. HAL beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate thrice in the last four quarters and matched it in the other. This is depicted in the graph below: Halliburton Company price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Halliburton Company Quote The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second-quarter bottom line has remained unchanged in the past seven days. The estimated figure indicates a 1.8% decline year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues, meanwhile, suggests a 0.5% decrease from the year-ago period. North American completion activity could have supported Halliburton in the second quarter. Management had pointed out that gaps in the fracturing schedule have largely disappeared, more customers are requesting short-notice work, and premium equipment is becoming tighter. These signs suggest stronger demand for the Completion & Production segment, which provides hydraulic fracturing and related well-completion services. Consequently, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s second-quarter operating income from the segment is pegged at $479 million, up from $439 million in the first quarter of 2026. International drilling momentum could have provided another earnings tailwind. Halliburton expects growth outside the Middle East to be led by Latin America, while offshore work in Guyana, Suriname, Brazil and Norway remains active. This is expected to have supported the Drilling & Evaluation segment, which helps customers locate reservoirs, drill wells and assess underground formations. Recent contract wins, automated drilling technology and stronger project-management work could have improved activ...

Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when Liberty Energy (LBRT) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 22, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. 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. This provider of hydraulic fracturing services is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.07 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -41.7%. Revenues are expected to be $1.09 billion, up 4.2% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 7.69% 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 Estimate 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,...

Core Laboratories Inc. CLB reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 6 cents per share, which were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, the bottom line decreased from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure of 8 cents due to the underperformance of both Reservoir Description and Production Enhancement segments. This oilfield service provider reported first-quarter operating revenues of $121.8 million, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $123 million and decreasing from the earlier-year quarter’s reported figure of $124 million. This can be attributed to the closure of many client offices in the Middle East that resulted in project delays and the suspension of hydrocarbon production. Core Laboratories Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Core Laboratories Inc. Quote During the first quarter, the company repurchased 51,781shares of common stock for a total of $0.9 million. CLB’s debt leverage ratio was at 1.20 and net debt increased by $3.9 million. Reservoir Description: Revenues in this segment increased 1.3% from the year-ago quarter to $81.9 million. Moreover, the top line beat our estimation of $81 million. Operating income decreased from $2.3 million in the year-ago period to $1.1 million and missed our estimate of $14.5 million, caused by two primary factors: the conflict in the Middle East and severe weather events across North America and the Mediterranean region, which also disrupted client operations and the demand for laboratory services in the quarter. Production Enhancement: This segment’s revenues decreased 6.6% to $39.9 million from $42.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Moreover, the top line missed our estimate of $42.05 million. Operating income decreased from $1.5 million in the year-ago period to $0.8 million. Moreover, the operating income from this segment missed our estimate of $3.7 million. The underperformance in the Production Enhancement segment can be attributed to low U.S. land drilling and completion activity and the Middle East conflict that disrupted and delayed product shipments into the region. CLB reported total costs and expenses of $119.9 million in the first quarter, increasing by 0.6% from the year-ago quarter’s level of $119.2 million. Our estimation for the metric was $115.9 million. As of March 31, 2026, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $22.8 million and long-term debt of $1...

Solaris Energy Infrastructure SEI posted first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 44 cents per share, up 120% year over year and ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 69.2%. The oilfield equipment and mobile power solutions provider’s revenues were $196.2 million, up 55.3% from the year-ago quarter and above the consensus by 8.5%. Leasing revenues rose to $105.4 million, while service revenues were $90.9 million, reflecting higher scale across operations. By segment, Power Solutions revenues increased to $128.5 million, while Logistics Solutions delivered $67.7 million. The quarter reflected stronger activity in both businesses, with Power Solutions averaging about 910 MW of capacity earning revenues and Logistics running 104 fully utilized systems. Management also highlighted continued contracting momentum tied to behind-the-meter data center power demand. Net income was $32.1 million in the quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted EBITDA was $83.6 million, up from $46.9 million in the year-ago period, driven primarily by higher Power Solutions activity levels and a modest lift in Logistics profitability. Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. Quote A central theme in the quarter was Solaris’ push toward longer-term behind-the-meter power arrangements for large technology customers. Subsequent to the quarter, on April 24, 2026, the company entered into an agreement to provide more than 600 MW of capacity, including balance of plant, for a 10-year term with a five-year extension option, with deployments expected to begin in late 2026 and scale through 2028. In its investor materials, Solaris framed its contracted power base as exceeding 2,000 MW across multi-year partnerships with global technology leaders and highlighted a pro forma fleet of 3.1 GW expected to be delivered by the end of 2029. Beyond just supplying power capacity, management highlighted a “turnkey” approach that includes not only generation but also supporting equipment and services. Recent long-term contracts cover a wider range of needs, such as distribution, storage and other infrastructure. This allows the company to invest more per project and potentially earn higher returns over the life of the contract. Supporting this outlook, SEI has a strong pipeline of additional projects worth roughly $800 million to over $1 bi...

Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE:LBRT) is one of the 10 Stocks With Double-, Triple-Digit Returns. Liberty Energy grew its share prices by 24.49 percent week-on-week to hit a new all-time high, as investors gobbled up its shares after a strong earnings performance and an upbeat outlook amid ongoing supply disruptions. On Friday alone, the stock soared to its highest price of $33.15 before trimming gains to finish the session just up by 1.30 percent at $32.74 apiece. Photo from Liberty Energy Facebook page In an earnings call earlier in the week, Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE:LBRT) said that it was able to grow its net income for the first three months by 12 percent to $22.5 million from $20.1 million in the same period last year. Revenues broke past the $1 billion level, finishing at $1.02 billion or 4 percent higher than the $977 million year-on-year. CEO Ron Gusek pointed to the “unprecedented oil and gas supply disruptions” as among the factors that buoyed its growth, with lingering supply challenges expected to continue benefiting Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE:LBRT) and its counterparts in North America. “Over time, this dynamic may support structural tailwinds for North America, as global consumers reevaluate energy supply chains and diversify sourcing, with greater reliance on US and Canadian-sourced oil and refined product supply,” the energy firm said. “As the markets weigh rising concerns over physical oil and gas supply shortages against potential ceasefire implications, North American [exploration and production] companies are evaluating a range of macroeconomic scenarios. The recent rise in oil prices is well above early-year expectations, now driving substantially better E&P economics with greater potential for increased free cash flow generation,” it added. In other news, Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE:LBRT) is set to pay $0.09 in cash dividends for every Class A common share held by its shareholders on record as of June 4, 2026.
