If management hits its targets

from IR material and Earnings Calls

What one share would be worth today and in 12, 24 and 36 months if the company does exactly what its management has promised, next to what a share costs now. Worked out from the targets management gave in its own results decks and earnings calls.

Show the math

Today's multiple on what the whole company earns now, held — and on top of it, only what the power business adds: management's own schedule of deployed megawatts at each year end, times the annualised EBITDA per megawatt it has published. The completions business is held exactly where it is, because ProPetro guides no revenue, margin or earnings figure for it at all. That is not conservatism, it is the absence of a number, and the first thing to know about these columns is that the business producing almost all of today's profit is shrinking inside them: first-half adjusted EBITDA was down 34% on a year earlier. Net debt is about nil — $797m of borrowings against $784m of cash — because the build was pre-funded. Each figure management gave as a range is taken at its middle.

Show the math, step by step

How we got there: company value if the plan is delivered, minus debt, divided by all the shares, including the new ones they’d have to sell to pay for it.

  1. The multiple. Today's company value over adjusted EBITDA of $162-180m: the first half of 2026 doubled at the low end, and the $45m the chief financial officer reported for the second quarter annualised at the high end. About 6.6-7.3x, held unchanged in every year. It is the whole company's measure, and it is held flat from here because no guide exists for the completions business that produces it.
  2. The compounding. Management's own PROPWR schedule: 475-525 megawatts deployed at the end of 2027, then 150-200 more each year, which it states as "at least 150–200 MWs annually". Each megawatt earns $275,000 of annualised EBITDA, rising to $300,000 "once operations are fully optimized" — the footnote to the same slide. The newer, post-Caterpillar schedule in the Q2 2026 deck is larger still (about 1.2 GW deployed by 2029 against 775-925 megawatts here) and is deliberately not used: the older series is the conservative one, and the one with the EBITDA rate attached.
  3. The arithmetic. (company value if delivered − net debt) ÷ shares. Today: $7 × 122.8M shares, with net debt of $13Mm. The figure shown adds the 30MM shares behind the $690m convertible at its $23.17 conversion price and takes its carrying value off the debt, because at anything like these values it converts. The count grows from the 30 Jun 2026 count at 0.7% a year — measured over the second half of 2025, not the latest half, which contains a 15,000,000-share offering and the convertible and would annualise two financings into a share-count trend.

What they keep talking about · 9

The themes that show up deck after deck, and the ones that disappear.

Free cash flow
The 2024 headline: lower capital intensity, cash returned. Now presented for the completions business alone, which adds the power build's spending back.
The fleet
FORCE electric and Tier IV dual-fuel, in every deck. Four FORCE fleets under contract — the fifth, promised for early 2025, left the slides.
PROPWR
From a new idea to the whole story: ~350 MW committed under contract, a Caterpillar framework for up to 2.1 GW more, and an illustrative 2.6 GW deployed by 2032.
Buybacks
A standing commitment through 2024 that stopped at $111m of a $200m authorisation — and has not restarted while the share count rose 18%.
The rerate
The peer-discount slide: a Permian frac company arguing it should trade as an industrial. The power business is now the argument, and the share count is the cost of it.
Permian
In every deck as the moat — one basin, the best customers. The first data-centre deployment is in the Midwest.
M&A
Targeted completions acquisitions, in the early decks and quiet since: the capital goes to megawatts now.
New
Q2 '26: assets live at a Midwest hyperscaler data centre, one of the first behind-the-meter providers at scale, and a Caterpillar framework agreement for up to ~2.1 GW over five years.
Quiet
The per-megawatt EBITDA chart went after Q1 '26. The ~220 MW mid-2026 delivery date went. The fifth FORCE fleet went. And the buyback stopped being mentioned as a use of cash.

What analysts asked them

The last eight earnings calls: what analysts kept asking about, which questions got dodged, and how much the CEO did the talking.

Share of questions by topic, call by call. A topic that suddenly dominates is usually the problem. The last row is how much of the answering the CEO did, rather than the CFO or others.

Who’s in charge, who’s selling

read from the filings · 2 Oct 2026

Shareholder votes against the board and pay, plus which executives have been selling their own shares.

  1. Tier 1 · worsening

    $1.5bn raised in eighteen months, the count up 18% in six months, and 29.78m shares behind the converts

    15,000,000 shares at $10.00 in January 2026 and $690m of zero-coupon converts in May at a $23.17 conversion price, with capped calls to $29.49 bought for $36.8m. Shares issued 104,310,266 to 122,823,917 in six months; debt from about $122m to about $797m. The 2026 capital budget is $525-595m, $400-450m of it PROPWR, against H1 adjusted EBITDA of $81.2m — down 34% — and free cash flow of -$30.4m. The buyback stopped at $111m of $200m, and the incentive pool was enlarged twice, 8,050,000 to 14,060,000 shares.

  2. Tier 1 · live

    Exxon Mobil sold its whole stake at $16.66 and its board seat went with it

    Pioneer Natural Resources Pumping Services, an indirect Exxon Mobil subsidiary, sold its remaining 16,600,000 shares at $16.66 on 2026-05-20 — about $276.6m — and on 2026-05-28 its nominee resigned under the Investor Rights Agreement, taking the board from eight to seven and ending the nomination right. By 2026-08-04 the stock was $11.16, where the president and chief operating officer sold 70,696 shares and a director 35,831, neither under a pre-set plan.

  3. Tier 2 · worsening

    The cash headline has been redefined twice in three years, each time around the spending

    "Free Cash Flow adjusted for Acquisition Consideration" in 2023-24 became "Free Cash Flow for Completions Business" in 2025, which adds PROPWR's operating and investing cash flows back: $190.2m against group free cash flow of $81.8m. Capex is presented as incurred rather than paid — FY2025 $281.2m against $186.3m of cash. And the per-megawatt EBITDA chart, the economics the entire build rests on, was dropped from the decks after Q1 2026, though the chief executive reaffirmed the figures on the Q2 2026 call.

  4. Tier 2 · stable

    Thirteen directors and officers own 1.55%, and the chief financial officer owns 2,000 shares

    1,894,695 shares in total, of which the chief executive holds 649,336 and the president 219,387 before his August sale; the chief financial officer, in post since July 2025, holds 2,000. The equity pool grew 75% in two years. Against that, the pay practices are unusually clean: no employment agreements with executive officers, no single-trigger change-in-control payments, no tax gross-ups, no repricing or backdating, and hedging, derivatives and pledging all prohibited. Say-on-pay drew 1.4% against in 2026.

  5. Tier 3 · stable

    The accounting officer leaves on 30 October and the chief financial officer takes both jobs

    Celina Davila gave notice on 2026-09-16, effective 2026-10-30, with the standard statement that it was not the result of any disagreement over accounting principles, disclosure or internal control. Caleb Weatherl, the chief financial officer, becomes interim principal accounting officer with no change to his compensation. The audit file is clean: RSM US LLP billed $1,627,607 of audit fees and $244,386 of audit-related fees for 2025 and nothing else, ratification carried with 0.03% against, and there is no restatement, comment letter or late filing. Separately, 16.0% of votes were withheld from the governance committee's chair in 2026, after 10.8% in 2025.

Where shareholders voted no

At each annual meeting shareholders vote on who sits on the board, what the executives are paid and whether the company may create more shares. These are the votes that drew the most "no"s at the last two meetings: the shares voted against (or withheld) each year, then what share of all votes cast that was. Under each one, what the vote was about and what a no means.

20252026Share 2026
Berg (chairs nominating and governance)A board seat. Shareholders vote to keep this person on the board, the group that hires, pays and can fire the CEO. A no, or a withheld vote, says they want this director out, often because of the committee they sit on or a decision they signed off.10.05M withheld16.57M withheld10.8% → 16.0%
