RPC INC (NYSE:RES) Reports Q2 2025 Earnings Miss, Stock Drops 4.6% in Pre-Market Trading

By Mill Chart

Last update: Jul 24, 2025

RPC INC (NYSE:RES) reported its second-quarter 2025 financial results, missing analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings per share (EPS). The company also declared a regular quarterly cash dividend, maintaining its commitment to shareholder returns despite the weaker-than-expected performance.

Key Financial Results vs. Estimates

  • Revenue: Reported at $420.81 million, falling short of the consensus estimate of $425.29 million.
  • EPS: Came in at $0.08, below the expected $0.0922.
  • Market Reaction: The stock was down 4.6% in pre-market trading, reflecting investor disappointment.

The revenue miss suggests softer demand or pricing pressures in RPC’s oilfield services segments, while the lower-than-expected EPS indicates either higher operational costs or weaker margins.

Performance Trends & Outlook

  • Recent Stock Movement: Over the past month, shares had gained 5.26%, but the post-earnings drop erased some of those gains.
  • Analyst Expectations for Future Quarters:
    • Q3 2025 Revenue Estimate: $436.76 million
    • Q3 2025 EPS Estimate: $0.0935
    • Full-Year 2025 Revenue Estimate: $1.643 billion
    • Full-Year 2025 EPS Estimate: $0.331

The company did not provide explicit forward guidance in the press release, leaving investors to rely on analyst projections. Given the Q2 miss, market participants may reassess whether RPC can meet these estimates, particularly if oilfield services demand remains volatile.

Press Release Highlights

  • RPC reaffirmed its quarterly dividend, signaling confidence in its liquidity position despite the earnings shortfall.
  • The company continues to operate across key U.S. regions, including the Gulf of Mexico and Appalachian Basin, as well as select international markets.
  • No major operational disruptions or strategic shifts were announced, suggesting business as usual despite the financial underperformance.

Conclusion

RPC’s Q2 results fell below expectations, triggering a negative pre-market reaction. Investors will be watching whether the company can rebound in Q3 to align with analyst forecasts. For a deeper dive into RPC’s earnings history and future estimates, see the earnings and estimates page.
