Archrock (AROC) Misses Q1 EPS by 4c

Archrock (NYSE: AROC) reported Q1 EPS of $0.42, $0.04 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.46. Revenue for the quarter came in at $373.8 million versus the consensus estimate of $379.22 million.

Outlook:

“Archrock is off to a strong start for 2026, generating meaningful earnings per share, free cash flow and increased shareholder returns during the first quarter, bolstered by a growing order book that continues to support our longer-term outlook,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our contract operations fleet has delivered full utilization over a multi-year period, and profitability continues to benefit from strong execution and the rollout of additional large and electric motor drive horsepower supporting critical midstream infrastructure. Additionally, we continued to high-grade our fleet with the sale of non-strategic compressor units totaling approximately 40,000 horsepower. First quarter underlying business performance exceeded our basis for guidance, though SG&A expense came in higher. We remain on pace to achieve our full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of between $865 million and $915 million, which we expect will translate into meaningful free cash flow generation for the year.

“As the buildout of U.S. midstream infrastructure continues to support expected growth in LNG exports and rising power demand from data centers, the strategic importance of U.S. energy is further underscored by ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. We are focused on growing our profitable platform by maximizing customer service and operational reliability, accelerating adoption of the technologies we continue to deploy, and leveraging our balance sheet through returns-based capital allocation that provides flexibility for organic and inorganic growth while increasing shareholder returns,” concluded Childers.
