W&T Offshore, Inc. (ISIN US95335M1053) closed at USD 3.74 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, down 2.60 percent from the prior close. The move leaves the stock 26.38 percent below its 52-week high of USD 5.08 and USD 2.24 above its 52-week low of USD 1.50.

Quarterly revenue beat estimates

According to MarketBeat on September 21, 2026, W&T Offshore reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 162.62 million, exceeding the consensus estimate of USD 157.46 million by USD 5.16 million, or 3.28 percent.

The earnings comparison was weaker: second-quarter 2026 EPS was USD 0.02, below the consensus estimate of USD 0.04 by USD 0.02. The revenue beat therefore did not translate into an earnings beat, leaving profitability as the more important measure for the next report.

Hold rating and limited coverage

MarketBeat reported on September 21, 2026, that the consensus rating was Hold, based on one Buy, one Hold and one Sell recommendation. The average price target was USD 4.25, which was 13.6 percent above the USD 3.74 reference price, while coverage remained limited.

The market data also show a sharp year-to-date comparison: W&T Offshore traded at USD 1.64 on January 1, 2026, and stood at USD 3.74 on September 22, 2026, an increase of 128.0 percent. That gain contrasts with the latest daily decline and places the stock in a higher valuation range than at the start of the year.

Stock remains below yearly high

Trading volume reached 3.25 million shares on September 22, 2026, compared with an average volume of 3.32 million shares. Market capitalization stood at USD 564.52 million on the same date, while the negative trailing net income of USD 150.06 million and net margin of negative 19.32 percent underline the earnings risk behind the valuation discussion.

For investors, the central comparison is clear: quarterly revenue exceeded consensus by 3.28 percent, but EPS missed by USD 0.02. The next estimated earnings date is November 4, 2026, according to MarketBeat.
