Rowan (Hold, TP: USD15.00) - Opportunistic deal closed

Rowan today confirmed it had concluded the purchase of two modern jack-ups from Petrobras for USD38.5m per rig, above its USD30m bid in the auction in Q2 2017. While the rigs are considered premium jack-ups (built in 2013), they were built in Brazil after a lengthy construction process, have a limited working history, their condition is debated, and meaningful investment is probably required. Hence, we see no read-across from the price tag to other transactions, but still view it as an opportunistic deal by Rowan.
