Description: VAL Valaris January 11, 2026

Valaris Ltd (NYSE:VAL) is a Bermuda-registered offshore drilling contractor that operates a diversified rig fleet-including drillships, dynamically positioned semisubmersibles, a moored semisubmersible, and jack-up units-across Brazil, the United Kingdom, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Australia, Angola, and other international locations. The business is organized into four segments (Floaters, Jackups, ARO, and Other) and also provides management services for third-party owned rigs, serving a mix of international majors, national oil companies, and independent producers.

Key operating metrics show the company generated roughly $1.2 billion of revenue in 2023, with an average rig utilization rate near 70 % and day-rates hovering around $190 k for floaters and $140 k for jack-ups. The balance sheet remains leveraged, with a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of about 3.2×, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of the sector. Valaris’ outlook is tightly linked to oil-price dynamics and the ongoing shift toward deep-water projects, which are sensitive to OPEC+ production decisions and the pace of global energy transition investments.
