Company outlook mixed
Share price after the results: +5.7%Patterson-UTI expects stable drilling activity in Q4 and a 2027 recovery, but guides drilling products adjusted gross profit down 5% to 10% due to weaker Middle East demand, particularly Saudi Arabia.
“For the fourth quarter, we expect drilling products adjusted gross profit to decline 5%-10% compared to the third quarter, primarily reflecting lower anticipated drilling activity in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
