Description: VAL Valaris November 08, 2025
Valaris Ltd (NYSE: VAL) is a Bermuda-registered offshore drilling contractor that operates a diversified fleet-including drillships, dynamically positioned semisubmersibles, a moored semisubmersible, and jack-up rigs-across four business segments (Floaters, Jackups, ARO, and Other). The company provides contract drilling services to international, government-owned, and independent oil-and-gas producers in Brazil, the United Kingdom, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Australia, Angola, and other regions, and also offers management services for third-party owned rigs. Founded in 1975, Valaris leverages its global footprint to capture demand for deep-water and harsh-environment drilling.
Based on Valaris’ FY 2023 filings (assumed to be the most recent audited data), the fleet comprised roughly 50 active rigs, generating approximately $1.5 billion in revenue with an average utilization rate of ~80 %-both metrics that are highly sensitive to offshore rig day-rate trends and global oil-price volatility. A key sector driver is the rebound in deep-water capex as OPEC+ production cuts tighten supply, prompting major oil majors to accelerate offshore projects; however, the company’s earnings remain exposed to fluctuations in rig day-rates, which have trended lower since the 2022 price spike. Additionally, Valaris’ exposure to emerging markets such as Brazil and Angola introduces geopolitical and currency risk, which can materially affect cash flow and debt service capacity.
