Why These Energy Stocks are Losing This Week

8. Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW)

Share Price Decline Between Nov. 19 – Nov. 26: 5.91%

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) announced mixed results for its third quarter on November 10. The company reported a loss per share of $0.02 and missed estimates by $0.43, as a nonrecurring debt expense still pushed the company into a net loss. However, its revenue of $341.1 million managed to exceed forecasts by $11.6 million, primarily on the back of a higher-than-expected average day rates and slightly better-than-anticipated utilization. Tidewater also narrowed its 2025 revenue guidance to $1.33 to $1.35 billion and initiated 2026 revenue guidance of $1.32 to $1.37 billion.

The stock then came under pressure on November 12 when 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 is of the view that Tidewater’s early 2026 guidance ‘feels conservative’, but expects a broader industry recovery to be pivotal for the company.
