Archrock, Inc. (AROC) reported significant earnings disappointments for Q2 2023, with adjusted EPS of $0.38 missing expectations of $0.46 by 17%. The company’s revenue for the quarter was $371.24 million, falling short of the $390.4 million consensus and showing a 3% year-over-year decline. Analyst forecasts for Archrock’s future earnings have also worsened, with the 2026 EPS estimate dropping nearly 9% from $1.90 to $1.73 over the past month.
Despite the energy sector benefiting from rising crude prices, with WTI crude near $90 per barrel, Archrock’s performance is being hampered by weak demand in aftermarket services. Revenue from this segment plunged to $42 million from $64.8 million a year earlier. The company has adjusted its 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook down to $865-$885 million, citing rising operational costs and a downturn in demand.
In light of its recent poor performance, Archrock has received a Zacks Rank of #5 (Strong Sell), prompting investors to consider alternative energy stocks better positioned to capitalize on current market conditions.
