Key Metrics
Top Statement Risk
Revenue decline and margin volatility
Metrics are mathematically derived from official filings.
Margin Compression Signals Pricing Power Loss
Gross margin fell from 36.6% in 2024Q2 to 29.5% in 2026Q1, as reported in quarterly filings, indicating significant erosion of pricing power and cost pass-through ability.
Operating margin has halved from 18.8% in 2024Q2 to 9.7% in 2026Q2, while net margin dropped from 8.9% to 3.5% over the same period. This suggests that Weatherford's cost structure is not flexing enough to offset revenue declines, and the company may be losing pricing leverage in a competitive market. The 100% gross margin in 2026Q2 is a data anomaly that should be disregarded, but the underlying trend of margin compression is clear.
Return on Capital Decaying Amid Downturn
ROIC fell from 9.4% in 2024Q2 to 3.4% in 2026Q2, as per financial statements, indicating a significant decline in capital efficiency during the revenue downturn.
ROE also dropped from 10.7% to 2.2% in the same period, reflecting lower net income relative to a growing equity base. The decline in returns is driven by margin compression rather than asset turnover, which has remained relatively stable around 0.22-0.28. This suggests that Weatherford's invested capital is generating less profit, and the company may need to rationalize its asset base or improve operational efficiency to restore returns.
Working Capital Efficiency Stalls
Cash conversion cycle extended from 97 days in 2024Q1 to 118 days in 2026Q1, as reported in quarterly data, indicating deteriorating working capital efficiency.
DSO has risen from 84 to 97 days over the same period, suggesting slower collections, while DPO has remained relatively stable around 71-83 days. This may indicate that Weatherford is facing customer payment delays or is extending credit to maintain revenue, which could strain cash flow. The increase in CCC is a concern as it ties up cash in working capital, especially during a period of revenue contraction.
Deleveraging Progress but Coverage Weakens
D/E improved from 1.73 in 2024Q1 to 0.91 in 2026Q2, per balance sheet data, but interest coverage fell from 5.23 to 3.78, indicating reduced debt service comfort.
While Weatherford has reduced total debt from $1.9B to $1.6B, the decline in operating income has outpaced debt reduction, causing interest coverage to deteriorate. D/EBITDA has also risen from 5.98 to 9.11, suggesting that EBITDA is shrinking faster than debt, which could increase refinancing risk. Investors should monitor whether the company can maintain its deleveraging trajectory without further margin erosion.
Liquidity Strengthens with Cash Build
Current ratio improved from 1.84 in 2024Q1 to 2.34 in 2026Q2, while cash rose from $937M to $1.1B, according to financial statements, indicating a robust liquidity position.
The quick ratio also improved from 1.37 to 1.77, suggesting that Weatherford can cover short-term obligations without relying on inventory sales. This provides a cushion against further revenue declines, but the company's ability to sustain this liquidity depends on maintaining positive cash flow. The cash build appears to be partly due to reduced capex, which may not be sustainable if investment is needed for future growth.
Misapplied Ratio: EV/EBITDA
EV/EBITDA of 7.20 appears cheap, but with D/EBITDA at 9.11 and EBITDA declining, this multiple may understate leverage risk, as per reported figures.
EV/EBITDA is commonly used to value energy service companies, but for Weatherford, the ratio is distorted by the company's high debt levels and volatile EBITDA. The forward EV/EBITDA of 5.04 assumes EBITDA recovery that may not materialize given the revenue decline. A more appropriate metric would be EV/EBIT or EV/(EBITDA - capex) to account for the capital intensity and debt service requirements. Investors should adjust for the company's specific capital structure and cash flow generation before relying on this multiple.
