Shares are now a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) and with the company increasing its capital outlay, the growth should continue.
Company Description
Key Energy Services is an onshore rig-based oil and gas well servicing company. They offer maintenance, workover and recompletion of existing wells and plugging tapped out wells. Other services included fluid and logistics, fishing, rental and drilling.
Topped Estimates
On Apr 28 Key Energy reported first quarter results that showed a 55% increase in revenue, to $391 million. The vast majority of the revenues came from the U.S. segment, which was almost 11%.
Net income from continues operations was $12.9 million, or $0.09 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was calling for $0.07.
Estimates Moving Higher
Key Energy said that was able to overcome higher costs and weather related challenges as they look to the more active portion of the year. They are ramping up capital spending that should start to show later this year.
Estimates for 2011 are averaging $0.83, up 21 cents since the earnings report. Next year's Zacks Consensus Estimate is $1.39, up 46 cents. Last year the company lost 13 cents per share, so this is a pretty sharp turn around.
Bullish Outlook
Below you can see that once timid analysts have become increasingly bullish on the earnings outlook for Key Energy. Each colored line represents a particular year's consensus estimates.
Year over year growth is great to see, but now we are also seeing the estimates move higher through the year, pushing shares to a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy).
