Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Borr Drilling ( (BORR) ) has shared an update.

Borr Drilling reported fourth-quarter 2025 operating revenues of $259.4 million and a small net loss of $1.0 million, with adjusted EBITDA of $105.2 million, reflecting lower day rates and sanctions-related contract terminations. For full-year 2025, net income fell to $45.0 million and adjusted EBITDA to $470.1 million, but utilization remained high and the company secured 24 new contract commitments worth $649 million in backlog.

To strengthen its fleet and capture a recovering jack-up market, Borr acquired five premium rigs from Noble Corporation for $360 million, funded through new senior secured notes and an $84 million equity offering. Management said contract coverage is rising into 2026, industry tendering is at multi-year highs—particularly in the Middle East and Mexico—and the expanded premium fleet is expected to enhance earnings visibility and support long-term shareholder value as market fundamentals improve into 2027.

The most recent analyst rating on (BORR) stock is a Hold with a $6.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Borr Drilling stock, see the BORR Stock Forecast page.
