A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of BKR, FTI, NOV and WFRD that day, the largest companies in SEI’s SEC industry; “moved with SEI” means the same direction and at least half the size.
What’s next · results
Before the next report: what the first day after the last four did
Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). SEI reports after the close, so day 1 is the next close. 3 of 4 times, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Next report: expected early-to-late FebruaryEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Four reports is a small sample.
Each line is SEI’s close against its close before the filing, on licensed end-of-day closes. What happened after each report, not a forecast; a move on the day is not a cause.
Same industry
SEI against four same-industry peers, a year at 100
SEI is up 13.7% in a year. TechnipFMC is up 50.5%, Weatherford International 17.4% and NOV 17.1%. Of these four, only Baker Hughes (+4.2%) did less. Weekly closes, Nov 7, 2025 = 100, on a log scale, so the same percentage move is the same height on every line.
End-of-day closes (Databento EOD), the last close of each week. The four peers are the largest US-listed companies by market value in SEI’s SEC industry (Oil & Gas Field Machinery & Equipment) with a year of closes. It shows what the closes did; a move here is not a cause, a forecast or a call.
