• ProPetro announced a strategic framework agreement with Caterpillar securing up to ~2.1 GW of additional ProPWR capacity (bringing total expected capacity to ~2.6 GW by year-end 2031), materially expanding its power-as-a-service backlog and addressable market.
• Management raised full-year 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $540–$610 million (up from $390–$435M), driven largely by ~ $400–$450M of ProPWR equipment spending, increasing near‑term funding needs despite available financing tools.
• The completions business showed resilience—Q1 revenue of $271M and Adjusted EBITDA of $36M—while company highlights structural market tightening (attrition of smaller competitors and very limited spare frac capacity) that could support improved pricing and utilization over time.
• Fleet positioning is a competitive strength: ~75% of the fleet is next‑generation (Tier IV DGB dual‑fuel and FORCE electric), next‑gen fleets are currently sold out, ProPetro expects to run ~12 fleets in Q2, and plans to buy out five FORCE electric leases to reduce future lease expense and increase commercial flexibility.
