ProPetro Holding Corp's stock fell by 8.26% today, hitting a 5-day low amid a broader market decline, with the Nasdaq-100 down 1.83% and the S&P 500 down 1.07%.
This decline occurs despite ProPetro's recent announcement of securing a microgrid contract with Coterra Energy, which is expected to enhance its operational capabilities significantly. The contract involves providing turnkey power solutions for distributed microgrids, with operations set to begin in Q1 2026. This strategic move is expected to bolster ProPetro's position in the power services market, showcasing its commitment to growth and innovation.
The implications of this contract are substantial, as it not only increases ProPetro's power capacity but also reflects the company's confidence in future growth, with projected capital expenditures for 2026 now estimated between $250 million and $275 million. This news highlights the company's proactive approach in expanding its service offerings, even as the stock faces pressure from broader market trends.

Reason
JPMorgan upgraded ProPetro Holding to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $13, up from $7. The firm adjusted ratings in the oilfield services and equipment outlook as part of its 2026 outlook. JPMorgan retains a cautious sector stance citing upstream spending headwinds, but sees some "idiosyncratic growth opportunities." The analyst expects oilfield service stocks to play "second fiddle" to upstream companies and other energy sub-sectors due to a weakening spending picture. In a more challenging macro environment, companies that can demonstrate the most earnings resiliency and growth prospects are best positioned, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
