The first quarter results for Nuverra Environmental Solutions ( NYSE: NES     ) are probably best described as a stumble forward. After a few years of weak results, the stock surged nearly 10% following the release of earnings that were better than feared, but not exactly strong. The environmental solutions provider for the energy sector, built to benefit from the waste disposal of hydraulic fracturing fluids and water, is making noticeable steps in the right direction.

Back in May, Heckmann changed its name to Nuverra Environmental Solutions ( NES ) to more accurately reflect its focus on environmental solutions in the energy sector. The stock has done nothing but plunge since the beginning of June whether due to the sector weakness or the market losing focus on the 'new' company.
