SEACOR Marine Holdings (SMHI) Stock

SEACOR Marine Holdings released another disappointing quarterly report, with both revenue and profitability falling well short of expectations. Management attributed the underwhelming performance to the company's heavy 2024 maintenance schedule and softer than expected demand in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea. With weakness in deepwater rig contracting activity now expected to extend well into 2025, the company will likely face additional headwinds going into next year.
