Precision Drilling (NYSE: PDS) Q1 2026 revenue rises as earnings fall
Precision Drilling Corporation reported a 6% increase in Q1 2026 revenue to $526,051 thousand, driven by higher drilling activity in Canada and the U.S. However, net earnings attributable to shareholders fell by approximately half to $17,376 thousand, and Adjusted EBITDA declined by 10% to $123,947 thousand, primarily due to increased share-based compensation, depreciation, and international reactivation costs. The company plans to reduce debt by $100 million in 2026 and allocate up to 50% of free cash flow to share repurchases, while increasing its capital spending outlook to $265 million for the year.
