Ranger Energy Services (ISIN US75282U1043) plans to acquire STEP Energy Services' U.S. coiled tubing assets for USD 27.50 million, according to Ranger Energy Services in an August 31, 2026 release. The transaction includes 13 coiled tubing spreads across the Permian and Bakken, according to FieldNews.

STEP deal adds 13 spreads

The acquisition expands Ranger's operating footprint in two major U.S. oil and gas basins. FieldNews reports that the deal would make Ranger the second-largest coiled tubing provider in the Lower 48, giving the company a larger platform in a service line tied to well completion and intervention activity.

The USD 27.50 million purchase therefore adds operating capacity rather than representing a purely financial transaction. The 13 spreads provide the clearest measurable scale marker in the announcement, while the Permian and Bakken locations broaden the company's geographic reach.

Second-quarter revenue reached USD 176.50 million

Ranger's second-quarter 2026 revenue was USD 176.50 million, compared with an analyst estimate of USD 163.93 million, a 7.67 percent premium. MarketBeat reported the figures in its September 6, 2026 company overview, which identified the reporting period as the quarter released on July 27, 2026.

Earnings per share came in at USD 0.29 against a USD 0.30 consensus estimate. That was a USD 0.01 shortfall, or 3.33 percent below consensus, creating a mixed quarterly picture: revenue exceeded expectations while per-share earnings fell short.

Market value sets the scale

Ranger Energy Services had a market capitalization of USD 374.2 million as of October 5, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 11.88 to USD 18.82 on the same date, placing the acquisition at a scale equal to 7.35 percent of the company's market value.

The NYSE-listed company operates in oil and gas equipment and services, with high-specification rigs, wireline services, processing solutions and ancillary services. The STEP assets add coiled tubing capacity to that existing service mix and connect the acquisition directly to the operating segments that generate field-level revenue.

Ranger stock keeps a wide yearly range

As of October 5, 2026, Ranger Energy Services' market capitalization stood at USD 374.2 million, while its 52-week range extended from USD 11.88 to USD 18.82. The acquisition, second-quarter revenue of USD 176.50 million and USD 0.29 earnings per share provide the key reference points for assessing the company's next operating update.
