Seadrill Expected to Post Q1 Loss of 24 Cents/Share Amid 36.6% Drop in Analyst Estimates
Summary
Seadrill Ltd is projected to report a loss of 24 cents per share for the first quarter ending March 31, 2026, alongside an expected 2.7% decrease in revenue to $325.8 million. This outlook reflects a significant deterioration in analyst sentiment, with the mean earnings estimate having fallen by approximately 36.6% over the last three months. Given the company's previous net loss of $77 million in 2025 and the stock currently trading near its 52-week high, these lowered expectations for Q1 could exert downward pressure. Traders will be closely watching the actual earnings release on May 11 for confirmation or further surprises.
