A Peek at Helix Energy Solns Gr's Future Earnings

Asset Sales

Management

Helix Energy Solutions Said To Explore Options, Including Sale

Helix Energy (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hlx#NYSE">HLX</a>) shares ended the last trading session 5.5% higher at $10.80. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock&#39;s 10.7% loss over the past four weeks.
The surge can be attributed to a higher demand for Helix Energy&#39;s oilfield services, especially in key offshore markets like the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. East Coast, and Brazil, among others. The company&#39;s Well Intervention segment specializes in prolonging the lives of existing wells, thereby reducing the need for drilling new wells. Currently, even though the commodity pricing scenario remains favorable for exploration and production activities, there has been a slowdown in drilling activities as upstream players are prioritizing stockholder returns rather than boosting output. By prolonging the life of existing wells through its services, Helix helps in optimizing the production from existing wells, thereby enabling companies to extract more value from their existing resources. This has been a significant growth driver for the company.
This offshore oil and gas services contractor is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.21 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +10.5%. Revenues are expected to be $343.74 million, down 13.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Helix Energy, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 16.7% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on HLX going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/buy-list/?ADID=zp_1link&amp;ICID=zpi_1link" target="_blank">the complete list of today&#39;s Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</a>

Oil futures surged significantly on Monday morning, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude rising 3% to over $77 per barrel as of 9:00 a.m. ET, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities"> fresh supply disruptions in Libya.</a>
This marks the third consecutive day of oil price gains after hitting their lowest levels since January on Wednesday, Aug. 21. With Monday&#8217;s increase, WTI has climbed more than 7% over the past three sessions, setting the stage for the strongest three-day rally since late March 2023.
What Happened: On Saturday, Aug. 24, the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched a large-scale assault against Israel, using rockets and drones in retaliation for the killing of senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr by Israeli forces. The attack involved hundreds of rockets and at least 20 drones targeting various locations in northern Israel.
In response, Israel carried out airstrikes on multiple Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, hitting at least 17 sites in an effort to thwart further large-scale attacks. Israeli officials described these strikes as preemptive measures aimed at neutralizing Hezbollah&#8217;s capabilities.
The situation remained volatile on Sunday, with ongoing exchanges of fire, fueling concerns about a broader regional conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the strikes against Hezbollah are not &#8220;the end of the story.&#8221;
In Libya, the political and security environment has deteriorated sharply. The eastern government, a rival to the Tripoli-based administration, announced a halt to oil production and exports following a dispute over the leadership of the Central Bank, exacerbating the global supply concerns.
According to Reuters, Waha Oil Company, a subsidiary of the National Oil Corp and operator of a joint venture with ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>), announced plans to cut crude production and warned that output could come to a complete stop due to protests and pressures.

Why It Matters: The recent rebound in equity markets after the early August selloff was largely driven by fading fears of a U.S. recession. 
Investors also responded positively to central bankers&#8217; signals of potential interest rate cuts, as confidence grew that inflation is moving closer to the 2% target. 
However, the sudden spike in crude oil prices, driven by supply concerns, could dampen the positive investor sentiment toward risk asset and curb further disinflationary gains in the economy. 
Market Reactions: Energy-related companies saw gains in Monday&#8217;s premarket trading. 
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) rose over 1%. Companies in the oil services sector also benefited, with the VanEck Oil Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OIH#NYSE">OIH</a>) up 1.8%. Firms in the upstream market, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration and Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>), were 1.3% higher.
