Upturn Advisory & Investor View for PUMP

11/06/2026: PUMP (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

ProPetro Holding Corp is a specialized energy services company providing critical hydraulic fracturing and well completion services, with a strong operational focus in the Permian Basin. The company has a leading position in its region, known for its high-efficiency equipment and ongoing transition toward advanced electric fracturing technology. Its primary growth story revolves around operational automation and fleet modernization to capture demand from major energy producers. However, the business faces significant risks from cyclical commodity price volatility, high capital requirements, and regional geographic concentration. The stock is best suited for energy-sector investors who can tolerate cyclical industry risks and are monitoring fleet utilization and E&P capital spending trends.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
PUMP receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
PUMP has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+100.6%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 3.3%), negative revenue growth (-12.1%), soft profitability (net margin 0.1%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
PUMP's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (3.3% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is PUMP's strongest growth driver at +100.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-12.1%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-62.1%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 124.6% and approximately 86.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.04% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 5.75%
D. E. Shaw & Co LP 4.91%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.18%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
PUMP generates approximately $99 of gross profit, $15 of operating income, and $33 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Weak margins explain the 2-star rating, with moderate cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 89.46%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
PUMP has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
