â–¼(-8.54% Downside)
Action:DowngradedDate:02/05/26
The score is driven primarily by improved financial performance (steady profitability, positive free cash flow, and deleveraging), supported by strong technical trend signals. It is held back by signs of softening operating momentum (TTM revenue decline/margin compression), overbought technical readings, and near-term risks highlighted on the earnings call (Mexico/working capital and softer 2026 activity outlook).
Positive Factors
Free Cash Flow Generation
Consistently positive free cash flow and a step-up in FCF versus 2024 provide durable internal funding for debt reduction, capex and dividends. Reliable cash conversion underpins financial flexibility through cycles and supports shareholder returns and reinvestment in high-return services.
Negative Factors
Revenue Decline Trend
A multi-percent decline in TTM revenue signals deteriorating top-line momentum that can pressure sustainable margins and limit scale benefits. Prolonged revenue weakness risks underutilized fleet, less pricing power and slower recovery of aftermarket recurring revenues tied to installed base activity.

Weatherford International Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 03, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 21, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlighted meaningful financial and operational progress: strong Q4 and full-year free cash flow, improved EBITDA margins (22.6% in Q4), a materially strengthened balance sheet (net leverage ~0.42x), active shareholder returns and targeted cost reductions. These positives were balanced against significant challenges — most notably a >50% YoY revenue decline in Mexico during 2025, elevated net working capital (28.9% of revenue), near-term revenue headwinds with expected mid-to-high single-digit North America declines, seasonality-driven softness in Q1 2026, and regional variability (EMEA/Russia softness and muted Saudi activity). Management expects international recovery in H2 2026 and a stronger 2027, but near-term execution remains dependent on payment cadence (Mexico) and activity recoveries. Overall, the favorable cash generation, margin resilience, deleveraging and strategic investments outweigh the key headwinds, resulting in a constructive outlook but with near-term risks to monitor.Positive Updates
Sequential and Regional Revenue Growth
Q4 2025 revenue grew 5% sequentially, driven by Latin America (+16% sequential, led by Mexico and Brazil) and Middle East, North Africa & Asia (+4% sequential, led by Kuwait, Oman, UAE and Indonesia); North America grew modestly driven by Canada and U.S. offshore.
Negative Updates
Mexico Revenue Collapse and Payment Uncertainty (2025)
Mexico revenues declined a little over 50% year-over-year for full year 2025. While collections improved in H2 2025 and some large tranches were received in Q4, payment timing and remaining receivables continue to create working capital uncertainty.

Company Guidance
Weatherford guided Q1 2026 revenue of $1.125–$1.165 billion with adjusted EBITDA of $230–$240 million and expects slightly positive adjusted free cash flow; for full‑year 2026 management expects revenue of $4.6–$5.05 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $980 million–$1.12 billion, adjusted free‑cash‑flow conversion in the low‑to‑mid‑40% range (against a 50%‑cycle target), CapEx of $190–$230 million (roughly 3–5% of revenue, midpoint down from 2025’s $226 million/4.6%), and an effective tax rate in the low‑to‑mid‑20% range; the Q1 guide reflects typical seasonality, some work pulled into Q4 and impacts from the Argentina divestiture/tariffs, and management reiterated a strong balance sheet (net leverage ~0.42x, ~$1.0 billion cash/restricted cash, $1.6 billion total liquidity) — for context Q4 2025 adjusted FCF was $222 million (76.3% conversion) and FY2025 adjusted FCF was $466 million (43.7% conversion).Weatherford International Financial Statement Overview
