Jefferies analyst Brad Handler downgraded Precision Drilling to Hold from Buy.

Reports Q1 revenue $528M, consensus $387.19M. CEO Kevin Neveu stated, "Precision had an impressive start to 2024 and we expect to build on this momentum throughout the year. Our Canadian drilling operations, international business, and completion and production services all outperformed during the first quarter and we more than doubled our cash from operations compared to the same period last year. We continued to focus on shareholder returns and repurchased $10 million of common shares in the first quarter. We remain firmly committed to repaying debt between $150 million and $200 million in 2024 and allocating 25% to 35% of our free cash flow to share buybacks..."
