Transocean Ltd. has just reported another strong quarter. The company's sales and EBITDA remain strong. But even more encouraging, in my view, is the company's improving balance sheet.
RIG expects contract drilling revenues between $1 billion and $1.02 billion and capital expenditures of $25 million to $30 million for the third quarter of 2025.

Although the revenue and EPS for Transocean (RIG) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended June 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
Transocean (RIG) reported break-even quarterly earnings per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.01. This compares to a loss of $0.15 per share a year ago.
RIG's revenues are expected to have increased from the year-ago level. Its costs and expenses are likely to have increased during the second quarter.
RIG adds $199 million to the second-quarter backlog with new contracts and extensions, lifting its total to $7.2 billion amid strong offshore demand.
Transocean is trading near 52-week lows, despite improving financials and a stable backlog, making it undervalued versus peers. The stock's weakness is tied to low oil prices, slow backlog growth, and market skepticism, but offshore rig supply remains tight and day rates are rising. If oil prices recover and Fed policy eases, Transocean's utilization and margins could surge, potentially driving the stock to $10–$25.
RIG secures a new wildcat well drilling job in the Norwegian Sea for Equinor that is set to start in July 2025.
RIG boasts strong backlog, cost savings and global contracts, but faces net losses, high debt, idle rigs and pricing pressure in a volatile market.
