W&T Offshore, Inc. expected to post a loss of 5 cents a share - Earnings Preview

What happened

W&T Offshore is expected to report a 12.5% rise in quarterly revenue to $143.48 million from $127.52 million a year earlier, according to five analysts, when it reports October 29. Analysts expect a loss of 5 cents per share.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Analysts expect more revenue but still a loss, which means costs are growing faster than sales. If the loss matches estimates, investors will focus on whether the company can turn higher sales into profit in future quarters.

Analyst inference

The average analyst rating is buy, with four buy ratings and none hold or sell. The median 12-month price target is $5.58, about 34.3% above the last closing price of $4.15, signaling analyst optimism despite expected losses.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch whether W&T Offshore reports revenue near $143.48 million and a loss near 5 cents per share when it reports results on October 29 for the quarter ending September 30, 2026. Confirmed
2. Watch whether higher revenue narrows the loss compared with prior quarters, since earlier results often missed estimates; a smaller loss would suggest costs are coming under control. Analyst inference
3. Watch whether analysts keep their buy ratings and $5.58 median price target after earnings, since a cut would signal lower expected profit and could weigh on the shares. Analyst inference
