Helix Energy Solutions Group (HLX) shares fell 0.45% today, reaching their lowest level since October 2022, with an intraday decline of 14.37%.

In the first quarter of 2025, Helix Energy Solutions Group reported a profit of $3.1 million, equivalent to 2 cents per share. This financial performance is a significant factor influencing the company's stock price. The reported profit, though modest, indicates the company's ability to generate revenue and manage costs effectively.
