Platform Drilling, US onshore in focus

Platform Drilling, US onshore in focus
For Q3 we forecast EBITDA of USD19m, largely in line with Bloomberg consensus at USD18m. Updates suggest that Statoil will re-tender all its platform drilling contracts in Norway. This will be an important tender for Archer as it’s currently the largest contractor of these platforms. We maintain our HOLD recommendation and NOK10 target price and believe the main difference between us and consensus relates to the valuation of Quintana (we apply USD400m in EV). The Q3 report is due on 31 October before the market opens.
