Seadrill's stock price has been influenced by earnings reports, contract awards, and geopolitical factors. The company announced its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results, reporting a full-year net loss of $77 million but also securing $0.5 billion in new contract awards. Contract extensions and new awards in the U.S. Gulf, Brazil, Angola, and Malaysia have added to its contract backlog. Zacks upgraded Seadrill's stock from 'strong sell' to 'hold', and the stock has increased by 39.5% since the beginning of 2026, reaching a new 52-week high. Geopolitical tensions and ownership changes have also played a role.
