Dawson Geophysical Company (DWSN) reported a dramatic operational turnaround in its first quarter of 2026, with total revenue surging 128% year-over-year to $36.7 million. This growth was driven by the full utilization of newly acquired single-node seismic equipment, which allowed the company to deploy additional crews and secure larger channel-count jobs in the United States and Canada. The company returned to profitability, reporting net income of $7.7 million ($0.25 per share) compared to a net income of just $0.99 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 364% to $10.9 million, reflecting improved gross margins of 40% versus 28% in the previous quarter.
