â–¼(-13.05% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/12/26
Overall score is driven primarily by improved profitability and strong free-cash-flow generation, but is held back by recent revenue declines and weak technical momentum (below key moving averages with bearish indicators). Valuation is reasonable, while the latest call and recent events add mixed near-term signals due to guidance pressure and the failed redomestication vote.
Positive Factors
Strong free cash flow generation
Consistent, sizable free cash flow (TTM ~$521M) and solid operating cash (TTM ~$670M) provide durable internal funding for capex, dividends and buybacks. This supports deleveraging, cushions cyclicality, and funds strategic investments without relying on external markets over the medium term.
Negative Factors
Top-line decline and revenue volatility
Repeated revenue declines and negative recent growth (-8.8%) highlight exposure to upstream capex cycles and portfolio changes, constraining scalable earnings expansion. Persistent top-line weakness can strain utilization, lower long-term margin expansion potential, and limit durable organic growth.

Weatherford International Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 21, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 21, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a generally constructive and optimistic medium- to long-term outlook driven by strong cash generation, improved working capital, a healthy balance sheet, strategic contract wins and technical milestones. Near-term performance is constrained by Q1 seasonality and geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East that produced an estimated $30M–$50M H1 profit impact, higher freight/logistics costs, and weaker sequential revenue guidance for Q2. Management emphasized disciplined capital allocation, portfolio pruning, and confidence in a second-half ramp and robust 2027 prospects.Positive Updates
Solid Q1 Financial Performance
Revenue of $1.152 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $233 million (20.2% margin) and adjusted free cash flow of $85 million in Q1 2026.
Negative Updates
Year-over-Year and Sequential Revenue Declines
Revenue declined 3% year-over-year (driven predominantly by the divestiture of the Argentina pressure pumping business) and was down 11% sequentially, reflecting typical Q1 seasonality and disruptions related to the Iran conflict.

Company Guidance
Weatherford guided Q2 revenue of $1.017–$1.110 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $195–$220 million and adjusted free cash flow broadly in line with Q1 (~$85 million); for full‑year 2026 management narrowed ranges to revenues of $4.50–$4.95 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $945–$1,075 million, adjusted free‑cash‑flow conversion in the mid‑40% range and an effective tax rate in the low‑ to mid‑20% range. Management reminded listeners of Q1 results of $1.152 billion revenue, $233 million adjusted EBITDA (20.2% margin), $85 million adjusted FCF (36.5% conversion), adjusted net working capital of 27.9% of revenues (improved ~100 bps sequentially), cash and restricted cash of ~$1.05 billion and net leverage well below 0.5x. They noted Q1 CapEx of $54 million (4.7% of revenues) with full‑year CapEx expected in a 3–5% range, returned $30 million to shareholders in Q1 ($20M dividends, $10M repurchases; >$330M returned to date), quantified an estimated Iran‑conflict profit impact of roughly $30–$50 million in H1, and reiterated a through‑cycle free‑cash‑conversion target of 50% plus an anticipated second‑half ramp (international revenues could be up year‑on‑year) assuming Middle East normalization.Weatherford International Financial Statement Overview
