On August 6, Transocean rose 6.32% in regular trading, trading at $5.374/share, with turnover of $24.35 million. The rally was driven by the company's Q2 earnings release, which exceeded market expectations on both top and bottom lines, accompanied by an upward revision to full-year revenue guidance.
Transocean reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.03, beating the consensus estimate of $0.01-$0.02. Contract drilling revenue came in at $966 million, surpassing the analyst expectation of approximately $957-$960 million. The company raised its full-year contract drilling revenue guidance to $3.90-$3.98 billion from a prior range of $3.80-$3.90 billion, significantly above the Street estimate of $3.83 billion. Q3 revenue guidance of $920-$960 million also topped the consensus of $893 million.
The guidance upgrade is underpinned by a strengthening contract backlog. Recent awards include a deal with Equinor valued at over $1 billion covering three harsh environment rigs, a Petrobras extension adding approximately $445 million in backlog, and multiple other contract wins totaling billions in incremental backlog since early April.
