Lower 48 average rig count increased 2.5 rigs to 67.8; International Drilling grew to 93.4 rigs (+0.8). SANAD deployed 1 newbuild in Saudi Arabia (16 total deployed; 3 more scheduled for 2026). Company raised full-year rig count guidance (expects 74 rigs exiting Q3) and reduced capex guidance to $710–$730M (from prior range), while raising full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to $920–$930M and adjusted free cash flow guidance to $20–$30M. Net debt stands at $1.61 billion; gross leverage at 2.4x (lowest since 2013).
Why this rating

Sequential operational momentum and raised guidance show genuine business improvement, but modest FCF and continued net losses limit near-term upside. Material relative to $390M market cap.
