Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA rose to $45 million, up 23% from Q1.
- The $690 million 0% convertible financing funds power equipment without near-term interest burden.
- Dual listing on NYSE Texas and new Targa contracts broaden investor visibility and backlog.
What critics are saying
- Q2 2026 revenue still only 13% sequential growth, while net loss widened to $8 million.
- Core completions remain cyclical; severe Permian weather and frac disruptions hit Q2 execution.
- Chief Accounting Officer Celina Davila resigns October 30, 2026, increasing control and continuity risk.
What makes ProPetro unique
- PROPWR secured Caterpillar access for 2.1 gigawatts, targeting 2.6 gigawatts by 2031.
- ProPetro’s electric frac fleet and Permian-only focus keep operations tightly aligned to core demand.
- Targa contracts committed 230 megawatts, lifting PROPWR’s booked capacity to 510 megawatts.
