Helix Energy Solutions Group Inc. (HLX) saw its stock price surge 6.95% in the after-hours session on Monday, following the release of its fourth quarter 2025 financial results.
The offshore energy services company reported quarterly revenue of $334.16 million, which exceeded the consensus analyst estimate of $300.69 million.

Analyst sentiment remains positive, with an average "buy" rating and a median 12-month price target of $10.00, representing a significant premium to its recent closing price.
