Tidewater Inc. (TDW): one to watch?

Not really a crash — TDW is only 7.5% off recent highs and up sharply this year; margin pressure looks temporary, but offshore cyclicality remains a real risk.

Why TDW dropped

The stock isn't collapsing — it's near 30-day highs and up roughly 84% year-to-date; the modest pullback follows two quarters where revenue held up but net income fell sharply due to higher vessel operating costs, general and administrative expenses, taxes, unfavorable foreign exchange, and Middle East conflict-related costs (about $13.1 million expected in 2026, with only about $7.6 million billable to customers).
