Actionable Insight ▼ Bearish

The Oversight Board's termination directive, combined with the short-seller attack, creates acute binary downside risk. Watch for formal PREPA termination notice, which would remove a major growth catalyst. Until resolved, avoid long exposure; a favorable reversal of the Oversight Board's action would be a strong bullish catalyst.

Executive Summary

Flotek provided an update on the Puerto Rico PREPA Contract, reporting that the Oversight Board voted to direct PREPA to terminate the contract and PREPA has ordered a work stoppage. Separately, a short-selling report was published targeting the company. Flotek reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance of $340M-$350M revenue and $47M-$51M Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes any PREPA contribution, but the adverse project developments create material uncertainty for a potentially large revenue stream.
