ProPetro Holding (NYSE:PUMP), the Midland, Texas-based provider of hydraulic fracturing and other oilfield services, reported a modest fourth-quarter profit that exceeded analyst expectations for a loss, reflecting improved operational efficiency and stabilizing activity levels in key U.S. shale basins despite persistent pricing pressure and reduced rig counts.
The company posted fourth-quarter 2025 net income of $742,000, or 1 cent per diluted share, a significant turnaround from the prior-year period and better than the average analyst estimate of a 13-cent loss compiled from four analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research.
Revenue for the quarter totaled $289.7 million, reflecting steady but cautious demand for pressure pumping services amid a more disciplined customer spending environment in the Permian and other basins.
For the full year 2025, ProPetro reported net income of $824,000, or 1 cent per diluted share, on revenue of $1.27 billion.
The near-breakeven annual result highlights the company's ability to maintain positive earnings in a challenging year marked by lower overall completions activity, customer consolidation, and competitive pricing dynamics.
