Earnings call transcript: Oil States Q1 2026 revenue miss dents stock

Oil States International Inc. (OIS) reported mixed Q1 2026 earnings, meeting EPS expectations at $0.09 but missing revenue forecasts with $145.36 million against a predicted $154.35 million. This revenue shortfall led to a significant stock decline of over 13%. Despite challenges from geopolitical tensions and a soft U.S. land market, the company's strategic focus on higher-margin offshore and international markets now accounts for 72% of revenues, and analysts project profitability for the current year.
