  What a ride it’s been for investors in Tetra Technologies (TTI) today.

  Shares of Tetra Tech! nologies traded down as much as 16% this morning after the oil & gas services company reported a profit of 6 cents not including Maritech and other unusual items, missing analyst forecasts for 19 cents. Tetra Technologies also said it would make between 50 cents and 60 cents during fiscal 2014, below forecasts for 66 cents.

  At 2:38 p.m., however, Tetra was trading down just 0.8% at $10.88. RBC’s Kurt Hallead and team explain why:

  Tetra Technologies rallied after starting the day at -15%. We think there was an overreaction to the headline miss and Tetra Technologies’ core operating business results, along with 2H14 guidance, were in line with expectations. Moving forward, the company has some key catalysts on the horizon that should lead to significantly improved operating performance and investor awareness. Key Catalysts:

  1. Get Maritech (E&P P&A liability in GoM) off the books. Ideally by 3Q. Once this is done, Tetra Technologies may implement a dividend or share repo program.

  2. Broaden Production Testing customer base, which should lead to a ramp in margins.

  3. Increase scale of Compressco through M&A, along with awareness of the MLP’s value to Tetra Technologies.

  4. Sell the offshore services business to simplify business structure.

  Shares of Tetra Technologies are down 12% in 2014.
