Read MoreHide Full Article
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Cactus, Inc. (WHD - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 1% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Cactus due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Cactus, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
Cactus Q2 Earnings and Revenues Miss Estimates
Cactus, Inc. reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of 66 cents per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 67 cents. The bottom line declined from the year-ago quarter’s figure of 81 cents.
Total quarterly revenues of $273.6 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $276 million. The top line declined from the year-ago figure of $290 million.
The weak quarterly earnings can be attributed to lower U.S. land activity and tariff impacts.
Business Segments
Following the closure of the FlexSteel acquisition, Cactus started reporting under two business segments — Pressure Control and Spoolable Technologies.
The Pressure Control segment generated revenues of $179.8 million, down from $187.2 million reported in the year-ago quarter. The segment was impacted by lower frac equipment rental. The top line was below our estimate of $180.5 million.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA for Pressure Control totaled $53.1 million, down from $64.8 million in the prior-year quarter. The reported figure missed our estimate of $59.7 million.
Revenues from the Spoolable Technologies segment totaled $96.2 million, down from $103.7 million in the prior-year quarter. The figure beat our estimate of $93.7 million. The segment was aided by improved manufacturing efficiency in the quarter.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the unit totaled $37.9 million, down from $42.5 million a year ago. The figure beat our estimate of $32.8 million.
Capex and Cash Flow
Cactus’ capital expenditure and other amounts for the quarter totaled $11.1 million. Operating cash flow totaled $82.8 million.
Balance Sheet
Cactus had cash and cash equivalents of $405.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2025. The company had no bank debt outstanding as of June 30, 2025.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?
It turns out, fresh estimates have trended downward during the past month.
The consensus estimate has shifted -10.61% due to these changes.
VGM Scores
At this time, Cactus has a subpar Growth Score of D, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock has a score of C on the value side, putting it in the middle 20% for value investors.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of F. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
Outlook
Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Notably, Cactus has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
