W&T Offshore stock (ISIN US95335M1053) closed at USD 4.13 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, up 3.25 percent from the prior close. The move came as crude prices stabilized, but the latest earnings still show a gap between revenue delivery and profitability.
Revenue beats while EPS misses
According to MarketBeat on September 21, 2026, W&T Offshore reported USD 0.02 in earnings per share for the quarter released on August 5, 2026. That result missed the USD 0.04 consensus estimate by USD 0.02.
Revenue provided the counterpoint. The company generated USD 162.62 million in the same quarter, exceeding the USD 157.46 million consensus estimate by USD 5.16 million, or about 3.3 percent. The comparison matters because the revenue beat did not translate into an earnings beat.
Oil prices remain a key variable
W&T Offshore is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company focused primarily on assets in the Gulf of Mexico, according to GuruFocus on September 21, 2026. That operating profile makes realized oil and gas prices an important earnings variable.
The commodity backdrop was volatile. On September 21, 2026, West Texas Intermediate crude fell 2 percent to USD 98.27 per barrel, while Brent declined 1.9 percent to USD 101.94, as reported by GuruFocus. For W&T Offshore, the combination of commodity volatility and the latest EPS miss leaves earnings sensitivity more important than the revenue comparison alone.
Stock stays below yearly high
MarketWatch data show a 52-week range of USD 1.50 to USD 5.08 and a market capitalization of USD 603.77 million, with the quote details dated September 15, 2026. The September 21 close of USD 4.13 was USD 0.95 below that 52-week high and USD 2.63 above the low.
Trading volume reached 4.96 million shares on the cited MarketWatch snapshot, compared with a 65-day average of 4.03 million shares. MarketBeat listed a USD 4.25 price target and a Hold consensus in its September 21, 2026 overview, although the search result did not identify a named analyst house or a prior target for comparison.
Price remains tied to execution
W&T Offshore stock closed at USD 4.13 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, with the daily gain measured at 3.25 percent. The current setup combines a price well above the 52-week low with quarterly EPS of USD 0.02, revenue of USD 162.62 million, and a USD 0.02 shortfall against consensus.
