17 Feb 2026production update▲ Good
The Feb 17, 2026 fleet report puts backlog at about $4.7 billion, up from about $4.5 billion in October 2025, with nearly $900 million of new awards. These include DS-7 (Azule, ~$125M, Angola), a two-year DS-9 extension with Esso Exploration Angola, a multi-year DS-8 contract with Shell in Brazil (~$300M, from Q1 2027), and several jackup awards. About $120 million was removed from backlog because the Harbour Energy contract on VALARIS 120 was suspended in December and revenue is no longer expected (it had run to mid-2028), which resolves that open thread negatively. DPS-1 is held for sale to be recycled, and jackups 102 and 145 were sold for recycling in December 2025.
10 Feb 2026business combination● NeutralMajor
Valaris disclosed the terms of the Transocean deal: each Valaris share gets 15.235 Transocean shares (plus cash for fractions), leaving Transocean holders with about 53% and Valaris holders about 47% of the combined company. Valaris warrants would be assumed by Transocean, two Valaris directors would join Transocean's board, and Valaris RSUs/PSUs would vest and convert into Transocean shares. Closing needs shareholder votes of both companies, court sanction, NYSE listing of the new shares and regulatory approvals; either side can walk away if not done by Feb 9, 2027. Termination fees are $195M payable by Transocean and $173M payable by Valaris in specified cases, with expense reimbursement of up to $58M (Valaris) or $65M (Transocean) if a shareholder vote fails. Neither side may terminate to accept a superior proposal. This is a pending deal, not yet completed.
9 Feb 2026business combination● NeutralMajor
Valaris announced a Business Combination Agreement dated Feb 9, 2026 under which Transocean Ltd. (Switzerland) will acquire all Valaris common shares in exchange for Transocean shares, through a court-approved Bermuda scheme of arrangement. This is a new, major event: if completed, Valaris shareholders would receive Transocean shares instead of holding Valaris. The filing itself is mostly the announcement, an investor presentation exhibit and legal cautions; the terms are in the companion filing.
