Transocean shares climbed as traders piled into bullish options bets ahead of the company’s upcoming earnings report. Options desks reported roughly 83,000 call contracts changing hands, particularly in the February 13 and 26 strikes, alongside a very low put/call ratio and rising implied volatility. This surge in optimistic options positioning reflects growing speculation that the Feb. 19 earnings release could be a positive catalyst for the stock, prompting investors to raise their expectations for Transocean’s near‑term performance.
