Precision Drilling (PDS) has strengthened its balance sheet, reduced debt, and operates a premium rig fleet with increasing activity, especially in Canada. Q2 revenue grew 11% to C$452.8M, but adjusted EBITDA fell 10% due to reactivation and upgrade costs, highlighting the need for margin recovery, particularly in the U.S. Contracted rigs in both Canada and the U.S. provide greater revenue visibility, but future margin improvement, especially from U.S. rigs, remains a key catalyst and risk.

Precision Drilling NYSE: PDS reported higher second-quarter revenue as record Canadian drilling activity and a rebound in U.S. rig utilization offset weaker international results, while the company said it remains on track to reduce debt and repurchase shares during 2026.

Precision Drilling (PDS) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.38 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.43. This compares to earnings of $0.77 per share a year ago.
