AMD Finally Returns to Profitability With Strong 3Q Results; Shares Remain Overvalued

AMD reported third-quarter results that exceeded our expectations, thanks to broad-based strength of the firmâ€™s new products. Meanwhile, AMD recorded both positive operating income and net income during the quarter for the first time since 2014. Although fourth-quarter guidance was ahead of consensus, shares fell sharply during afterhours trading. We note that the fourth quarter is seasonally weaker than the third quarter and surmise that investors were expecting greater outperformance, given th...

Petrobras UDW rig selection

For the Petrobras tender for high-specification UDW rigs, updates suggest that it has made a rig selection. The tender was split into two categories (with and without MPD) and called for a duration of three years with start-up in September 2022. As previously reported, Seadrill had presented the lowest bid in the MPD category, and updates now suggest that two Seadrill UDW 7G drillships, West Tellus and West Carina, have been selected. The rigs were offered at dayrates of USD230k and USD245k, respectively, and we expect awards to be made at, or around, those levels.

Back to normal with Petrobras

In the three Petrobras tenders for low-spec UDW rigs that had bids due late last week, things were ‘back to normal’ compared to the solid dayrates in its recent tender for high-spec UDW rigs. Now, local (and Indian) contractors emerged as the low bidders and dayrates offered were mostly in the high USD100k/low USD200k, representing an expected downtick from the recent high-spec tender. Given the low technical specification on these tenders, interest was low from international contractors with only Valaris offering one rig and a third-party offering a Noble drillship. Looking ahead, we expect P...

Business as Usual for No-Moat Lonza; Specialty Ingredients Carve-Out on Track for 2020

Contract manufacturer Lonza reported solid half-year results, with over CHF 2.9 billion in total sales year to date, up about 6.4% from last year and boosted by foreign exchange tailwinds.
