Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Cactus Q4 EPS of 65 cents beat estimates on $261M revenues, led by Pressure Control growth.
WHD's Pressure Control sales rose on higher product per rig and rental income gains.
Spoolable Technologies' revenue fell due to lower activity, though EBITDA topped estimates.
Cactus, Inc. (WHD - Free Report) reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of 65 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 58 cents. The bottom line declined from the year-ago quarter’s figure of 71 cents.
Total quarterly revenues of $261 million topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $251 million. The top line declined from the year-ago figure of $272 million.
