What the filing says
Noble Corporation reported Q2 2026 net loss of $37M (diluted EPS: -$0.23) versus Q1 net income of $121M, driven by $43M operational suspension of two Brazil rigs (Noble Faye Kozack and Noble Courage). Adjusted EBITDA fell to $212M from $277M. The company reduced full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $2.8–$2.9B (from $2.8–$3.0B) and Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $850–$925M (from $940–$1.02B). Offsetting negatives: $200M in new contract awards (Noble Viking 6-well Asia contract, Noble Claus Bachmann 3-well bp UK North Sea contract), backlog stable at $6.8B, successful refinancing of $800M legacy Diamond notes creating $35M annual cash benefits, and $0.50/share Q3 dividend maintained.
Why this rating
Brazil suspension and guidance cut material in near term; but backlog $6.8B (2x market cap), improving dayrates mid-$400Ks, debt refinancing positive. Moderate adverse event, offset by market fundamentals and capital structure improvement.
