Did NOV Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
NOV Inc. Delivered a sharply mixed fourth quarter for 2025, posting revenue of $2.28 billion, up 8.4% year-over-year and beating the $2.07 billion consensus by 10.10%, while swinging to a GAAP net loss that blindsided Wall Street on the bottom line. … Read more NOV Inc. Delivered a sharply mixed fourth quarter for 2025, posting revenue of $2.28 billion, up 8.4% year-over-year and beating the $2.07 billion consensus by 10.10%, while swinging to a GAAP net loss that blindsided Wall Street on the bottom line. The company reported a loss of $0.21 per diluted share, missing the $0.19 consensus estimate by 209.15%, as $86 million in goodwill and asset impairments combined with a $147 million income tax provision, inflated by valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, erased what would otherwise have been a profitable quarter. Analysts noted that NOV's free cash flow of $472 million, converting roughly 177% of Adjusted EBITDA, suggests the statutory loss understates underlying earnings power. Looking ahead, management issued cautious Q1 2026 guidance, projecting revenue down 1–3% year-over-year with Adjusted EBITDA of $200–$225 million, citing an oversupplied oil market and front-half budget softness from customers, though it sees offshore drilling bottoming and a meaningfully stronger operating environment emerging in 2027.
Key Takeaways
- • Strong backlog execution in Energy Equipment segment drove sequential and year-over-year revenue growth
- • Exceptional cash flow conversion — 177% of Adjusted EBITDA to free cash flow in Q4
- • Working capital intensity improved 340 basis points year-over-year
- • Market share gains partially offset lower global activity levels
- • Energy Equipment posted fourth consecutive year of revenue growth and EBITDA margin expansion
