What the filing says
Valaris reported Q3 2026 net income of $47M on revenues of $594M, with adjusted EBITDA of $151M. The company added ~$600M in new contract backlog (total $4.8B), reactivated four drillships and two jackups, and achieved 97% revenue efficiency. All 10 active drillships are now on contract. The pending business combination with Transocean received regulatory approval and is expected to close on or about December 1, 2026. Middle East conflicts cost ~$24M in adjusted EBITDA impact but are moderating.
Why this rating
Merger closing (~$2.5B company) is material; strong backlog addition and fleet utilization gains offset by routine earnings. Significant but not transformational at company scale.
