Seadrill (Buy, TP: USD35.00) - Countdown to 2027
Despite a tough deepwater market, on our estimates, Seadrill is trading at a c4x EV/EBITDA for 2025–2026e, falling to 2.8x for 2027e (with our 2026–2027e EBITDA 21–23% below consensus). We see limited cash flow yield potential near-term, rising to c15% for 2027e. Tier-2 rig challenges have been a key investor concern, and while we model only a small contribution from these rigs (7–5% of our 2026–2027e EBITDA). We estimate c50% upside potential on asset values even in a scenario where we assign zero value to these rigs. We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to USD35 (45).
