RPC, Inc. operates oilfield services and equipment companies in the US and internationally, focusing on value creation and growing profitability. The company's technical and support services cater to oil and gas companies, with pressure pumping and downhole tools being major revenue drivers. RPC has increased profitability, capital efficiency, and free cash flow generation, with its current operations valued significantly lower than its market capitalization, providing a margin of safety for investors.
RPC (RES) Q2 earnings gain on higher activity within rental tools and lower cost of revenues. However, a soft environment for pressure pumping negatively impacts the top line.
RPC (RES) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.15 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.13 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.30 per share a year ago.
Lower contributions from the Technical Services business unit are likely to have hurt RPC's (RES) Q2 earnings.
