Valaris Limited (VAL) has garnered mixed opinions from analysts, reflecting a blend of optimism and caution. One expert notes the company's recent decline of 17.5%, suggesting a disciplined approach by setting a stop-loss and covering the position to prevent further losses. However, other analysts highlight Valaris's strengths as the largest offshore rig operator, with promising upside potential of 23% to 27%, depending on price targets of $60 and $69, respectively. With a solid contract backlog exceeding $4 billion and attractive valuation metrics—trading at low earnings multiples and demonstrating strong return on equity—there are indications of a possible drilling revival in the offshore sector. Overall, while caution is advised, certain analysts are still bullish on the stock's long-term growth prospects.

Our PAST TOP PICK with VAL has triggered its stop at $40.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  When combined with our previous guidance, this will result in a net investment loss of 22%.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate VAL, the world's largest offshore rig operator, as a TOP PICK.  Its size makes it the go to offshore rig provider during periods of drilling revival -- which we think may be underway again.  It trades at 10x earnings, 1.6x book and supports a robust 32% ROE.  We continue to recommend a stop at $40, looking to achieve $60 -- upside potential of 23%.  Yield 0%

(Analysts’ price target is $60.36)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

The largest offshore oil and gas driller, operating 53 rigs worldwide.  They beat 2nd quarter guidance as drilling contracts have extended longer -- they now hold over $4 billion in contract backlogs.  We like that it trades at 5x earnings, under 2x book and supports a ROE of 59%.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $40, looking to achieve $69 -- upside potential of 27%.  Yield 0%
