Seadrill Ltd (SDRL) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Seadrill Ltd (SDRL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Seadrill is well positioned fundamentally because its rig fleet is achieving 96 percent economic utilization, with the company fully engaged in filling available rig days, while recent contract awards and extensions for West Carina, West Capella, and Sonangol Libongos support visibility into work through January 2030. Second quarter revenue of $449 million exceeded the $388 million estimate, underscoring stronger-than-expected contributions from key assets and a business model that is converting tight offshore demand into cash flow. With positive free cash flow expected this year and the market still underappreciating higher day rates and a tight supply environment that should extend into 2027, the outlook remains constructive.
Bears say
Seadrill is facing a negative setup because, despite a mostly full calendar of rigs working in 2026, the stock appears to be pricing in a weaker environment than management expects. The recent decline in oil prices has heightened investor concern that offshore drillers may struggle to secure future work, which directly pressures visibility on contract renewals and utilization. Even so, having three rigs without contracts heading into the second half of 2026, including the Sevan Louisiana, shows meaningful commercial risk that could weigh on revenue stability and sentiment.
