Company & revenue
About Seadrill Limited
Primary reporting period: 2025-12-31 · Research updated Oct 12, 2026. A research update is not a new financial filing.
Who they are
Seadrill Limited, a global entity, is dedicated to delivering contract drilling services for the offshore oil and gas sector. The company utilizes a diverse fleet of sophisticated equipment, including drillships, semi-submersible rigs, and jack-up rigs, which are capable of operating in a wide array of challenging conditions—from shallow to ultra-deep waters, and within both benign and harsh environments. These operations are strategically divided into three key segments: Harsh Environment, Floaters, and Jack-up Rigs.
How they make money
Seadrill Limited operates as an offshore drilling contractor, providing drilling services to the oil and gas industry. The company generates revenue primarily by contracting its fleet of drilling rigs to national and international oil companies under long-term and short-term drilling contracts, which typically include day rates for the use of the rig and associated services.

Momentum & Volatility Signals
Two different market-behavior signals. Momentum measures direction and trend strength. Volatility measures how large and unstable the price moves are, regardless of direction.
Strong upward momentum
Normal movement
A high momentum score means price has been trending upward with confirming short- and medium-term strength. A low score means downward or weakening momentum.
A high volatility score means larger, less stable price swings. It can happen while a stock is rising or falling, so high volatility is not automatically bullish or bearish.
Important: the volatility score above is based on realized price volatility. Implied volatility (IV) comes from options prices and represents the market's expected future movement. Wall Street Score will keep IV separate and will only display it when a verified options-chain feed is available.
