ProPetro Holding Corp. priced an upsized $600 million convertible senior notes offering on May 4, 2026, with the announcement released on May 5. The notes carry a 0.00% coupon, are senior and unsecured, and mature in 2031. Net proceeds are expected to be $581.3 million, rising to $668.6 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to buy additional notes.
The notes are convertible at an initial rate of 43.1616 shares per $1,000 principal, giving a conversion price of $23.17 per share—about 37.5% above ProPetro’s closing price of $16.85 on May 4. To limit dilution, the company has included capped call transactions with a cap price of $29.49 per share, a premium of roughly 75% over the May 4 price.
ProPetro will use $32 million of the proceeds to fund the capped call transactions and the remainder for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures for additional power‑generation equipment under its PROPWR subsidiary. The funding is intended to accelerate the rollout of mobile natural‑gas‑fueled generators for data centers, oilfield, and industrial customers.
The financing is expected to strengthen ProPetro’s balance sheet while keeping its debt‑to‑equity ratio low—reported at roughly 18.93%—and to provide a flexible source of capital that can convert to equity if the stock price rises. The capped call structure mitigates potential dilution, allowing the company to maintain a conservative leverage profile.
In its most recent earnings, ProPetro reported a Q1 2026 EPS of –$0.03, beating the consensus estimate of –$0.09, while revenue of $271 million fell short of the $283.08 million estimate. In the prior quarter, the company posted an EPS of $0.01 versus an estimate of –$0.13 and revenue of $289.7 million versus $279.9 million, a 9.6% year‑over‑year decline. These results illustrate a mix of operational strength in certain segments and headwinds in top‑line growth.
The upsized offering comes at a time when ProPetro is expanding its PROPWR business, having secured a framework agreement with Caterpillar to acquire up to 2.1 GW of power‑generation assets by 2031 and a $350 million lease facility from Eldridge Capital. Investors have responded positively to the combination of an earnings beat, a strategic shift toward power generation, and a financing package that preserves the company’s low leverage profile.
