Palantir a high-risk investment with ’a one-of-a-kind growth and margin model’
HAMILTON, Bermuda - Seadrill (OL:SDRL) Limited (NYSE:SDRL) reported first quarter results that missed analyst expectations on Monday.
The offshore drilling contractor’s shares fell 5.01% in pre-market trading following the release.
The company posted a net loss of $14 million, or $0.23 per share, for Q1 2025, compared to analyst estimates of $0.39 earnings per share. Revenue came in at $335 million, below the consensus forecast of $340.43 million.
Seadrill’s Q1 revenue rose 16% from $289 million in the previous quarter, driven mainly by an increase in contract revenues. However, the company saw lower economic utilization, particularly for rigs operating in Brazil.
"Our strategy to operate a floater-focused fleet at the heart of the deepwater market positions Seadrill well to navigate near-term volatility," said President and CEO Simon Johnson. He added that the company remains focused on adding to its backlog, which extends meaningfully through 2028.
For the full year 2025, Seadrill maintained its previous guidance for total operating revenues of $1,300 million to $1,360 million, in line with analyst expectations of $1,343 million.
The company ended the quarter with $430 million in cash and cash equivalents, including $26 million of restricted cash. Seadrill’s order backlog stood at approximately $2.8 billion as of May 12, 2025.
