Seadrill is a strong investment choice as they operate a young and versatile drilling fleet, with a solid balance sheet, and strong contract coverage in their key markets such as the Golden Triangle. With a new CEO focused on returning cash to shareholders and potential for fleet rationalization, Seadrill has the potential to see upside surprise in dayrates and FCF generation, making it a buy.
Bears say
Seadrill is currently trading at a discount to its peers at 5.5x 2027 EBITDA, but even at our $55 PT (7x 2027), we are still under consensus. Despite a manageable net leverage at ~0.7x, we expect limited FCF (~$50M in 2026) and only modest improvement in 2027 (~$200M), leaving little room for buybacks to close the valuation gap with peers.
