- Weatherford (WFT -11.6%) plunges to a 52-week low and has tumbled ~25% in the two days since posting a larger than expected Q4 loss and attempting to reassure investors that a turnaround is near.
- Tudor Pickering, Holt downgrades WFT to Sell from Buy, saying "the magnitude of the disappointment - even assuming the business recovers - means it's hard for us to get excited about the story here."
- WFT "maybe took multiple steps back," says Tudor Pickering's Byron Pope, adding that what once was the big four of energy services giants - along with Schlumberger (SLB -2.4%), Halliburton (HAL -3.4%) and Baker Hughes (BHGE -4.4%) - is "really more like the big three at the point... I don't even think it's fair to include Weatherford in that conversation anymore."
- Among other firms, CFRA Research keeps its existing Sell rating and Evercore ISI warns "patience is running thin" on WFT.
