Expro (XPRO) has updated investors with new earnings guidance, setting third quarter revenue expectations between $435 million and $455 million and lifting its full year 2026 revenue outlook to a range of $1,650 million to $1,700 million.

Expro's latest guidance and recent corporate actions, including the Enhanced Drilling acquisition, share repurchases and redomiciliation, come as the stock trades at $15.95 with a year to date share price return of 16.94% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 51.47%. The 3 year total shareholder return is down 30.68%, suggesting recent momentum has picked up after a weaker multi year period.

Expro is guiding higher on revenue and buying back stock, which points to management confidence in the business. After the recent share price move, the key issue is whether that confidence is already fully reflected in today’s valuation.

Most Popular Narrative: 11.4% Undervalued

Expro's most followed valuation narrative pegs fair value at $18 per share, which sits above the latest close at $15.95, and rests on a detailed earnings and margin roadmap.

Realization of synergies from recent M&A, continuous operational cost initiatives (Drive25), and a scalable integrated services portfolio are enabling sustainable EBITDA margin expansion and improved free cash flow generation, positioning Expro to outperform peers on profitability.

Want to see how this profitability story underpins that $18 fair value tag for Expro? The narrative leans on rising margins, steadier revenues and a firm view on future earnings multiples. Curious which assumptions really move the model and how they tie back to current guidance and contracts? The full story is in the detailed narrative.

Result: Fair Value of $18 (UNDERVALUED)

However, Expro's reliance on international and offshore projects, along with customer concentration among supermajors and NOCs, could place pressure on margins and earnings if contract timing or terms shift.

Another View on Expro’s Valuation

While the narrative fair value of $18 per Expro share points to upside, the current P/E of 86.4x paints a very different picture. It is far above the US Energy Services industry at 25.4x, the peer average at 29.6x, and even the fair ratio of 32x. That gap suggests meaningful valuation risk if sentiment cools.
