Seadrill Ltd (SDRL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Seadrill is benefiting from a tightening offshore drilling market, where elevated geopolitical risk and less logistical risk than onshore projects are supporting demand and improving day rates as tenders convert into contracts. Its second quarter economics were strong, with 96% economic utilization and revenue of $449 million versus an estimate of $388 million, while new awards and extensions for West Carina, West Capella, and Sonangol Libongos extend visibility into January 2030. The company is expected to generate positive free cash flow this year and maintain that trend in 2027 even without additional wins, with upside from further 2027 contracts as available rig days are filled.
Bears say
Seadrill is facing a bearish setup because the stock appears to be pricing in a much weaker offshore drilling market than its 2026 operating schedule suggests, with the recent decline in oil prices stoking fears that contractors may struggle to secure future work. Although the company has a mostly full calendar of rigs working in 2026, it still has three rigs without contracts heading into the second half of 2026, which raises uncertainty around utilization and cash flow visibility. Even with the Sevan Louisiana’s history of regularly finding work, the lack of firm coverage on multiple rigs leaves Seadrill exposed to softer dayrates and weaker investor sentiment.
