The operating split
Backlog is not cash on hand. It converts over contract lives and remains exposed to delays, downtime and customer approvals.
Analyst mix
Consensus: Hold. Targets range from $4.50 to $10.
Q2 cash improved while earnings softened
RevenueAdjusted EBITDAFree cash flow: $212m / $136m / $104m
Price-target map
What changed
Cash conversion improved. Q2 free cash flow more than doubled year over year, while debt principal fell by $1.55 billion. Revenue and adjusted EBITDA still declined from Q1.
What matters next
Backlog quality beats a one-day oil move. Watch contract starts, 2027 utilization, the $1 billion Equinor approval process and the Valaris merger's promised $200 million of annual synergies.
