Seadrill (SDRL) surged after investors cheered the appointment of new CEO Samir Ali and a 480-day contract extension for its Sonadrill joint venture in Angola. The rally was reinforced by upbeat reactions to the company’s 2026 revenue guidance, which points to stronger backlog visibility in offshore drilling.
Adding to the momentum, Citi recently upgraded the stock, helping fuel a sharp continuation of its multi-month run. Seadrill shares have now pushed to a fresh 52-week high as bullish sentiment builds around the company’s growth prospects.
