Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW), together with its subsidiaries, provides offshore support vessels and marine support services to the offshore energy industry through the operation of a fleet of marine service vessels worldwide.

Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) shot up despite reporting a mixed performance for its Q3 on November 10, with the company’s loss per share of $0.02 falling below estimates by $0.43, as a nonrecurring debt expense pushed the company into a net loss. However, its revenue managed to exceed expectations, primarily due to a higher-than-expected average day rate and slightly better-than-anticipated utilization. Tidewater also updated its FY 2025 revenue guidance to $1.33 billion to $1.35 billion, while initiating FY 2026 revenue guidance of $1.32 billion to $1.37 billion.

It is worth mentioning that following the ‘mixed’ Q3 report, Evercore ISI lowered its price target on Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) from $67 to $65, while maintaining an ‘In Line’ rating on its shares. The analyst thinks that Tidewater’s early 2026 outlook ‘feels conservative,’ but acknowledged that the company is currently going through a transitional phase and that the broader industry recovery is pivotal.
