  • Weatherford International Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates on Well Construction Strength
    April 24, 2026, 2:49 PM EDT. Weatherford International (WFRD) reported first-quarter 2026 earnings of $1.49 per share, a 44.7% rise from last year, surpassing estimates by 46.1%. Revenue was $1.15 billion, down 3.4% year-over-year but 1.2% above consensus. The Well Construction and Completions segment held steady at $443 million despite regional operational challenges, contributing to strong earnings. North America revenue fell 12%, while international sales declined 1%, with regional variances including a 17% rise in Europe and drops in Latin America and the Middle East. Adjusted EBITDA declined across key segments due to mixed activity levels and divestitures. Operating income dipped 13% to $123 million, yet net income attributable to Weatherford rose 42% to $108 million, reflecting effective cost management amid geopolitical tensions and market headwinds.
