Following the acquisitions of Maersk Drilling and Diamond Offshore, Noble Corporation is now one of the largest offshore drilling contractors, second only to Transocean based on enterprise value. Noble's capital structure is balanced with net debt accounting for less than 25% of the enterprise value. In contrast, Seadrill has almost no net debt, and Transocean remains overleveraged. In today's environment, Noble generates healthy free cash flows representing approximately 10% of the current market capitalization. Most of the excess cash is distributed to shareholders via buybacks and dividends.
