Noble Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NE#NYSE">NE</a>) has been in focus as President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44217245/us-shale-industry-set-to-boost-oil-output-despite-falling-prices-says-energy-secretary-the-economics-of-shale-dont-work-says-expert">oil production push</a>.
While remaining focused on securing contracts for its idle capacity and rigs rolling off contract later this year, the company relies on floater option exercises and cost savings to hit the mid-point of its 2025 guide, "which remains within striking distance, we think," according to JPMorgan.
The Noble Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59b8033d15737d000128a73d/arun-jayaram">Analyst Arun Jayaram</a> reaffirmed a Neutral rating, while reducing the price target from $33 to $31.
The Noble Thesis: Jayaram said in the note that there is a lack of contract visibility for Globetrotter II, the company's sixth-generation drillship idle in the Gulf of Mexico, and for Noble Deliverer, idle in Malaysia.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
These rigs will be prepared for rolling into deployment in the second quarter to reduce operating expenses, he added.
The analyst stated that Noble is likely to report its first-quarter EBITDA at $267 million, representing a sequential decline of 16.5% and coming in slightly short of the consensus of $273 million.
"Our updated full-year revenue forecast of $3,305mm is -1.3% lower than the guided midpoint of $3,350mm and -1.6% lower as compared to our prior estimate," he added.
Price Action: Shares of Noble were flat at $16.49 at the time of publication on Monday.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>The Insider's Guide to Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Taking a closer look at transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, meticulously cataloged in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A signifies a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Top 3 Energy Stocks Which Could Rescue Your Portfolio This Quarter

The U.S. shale sector is capable of ramping up&nbsp;oil production even if prices&nbsp;fall to $50 per barrel, according to&nbsp;U.S. Energy Secretary, Chris Wright.&nbsp;
What Happened: Wright, formerly the CEO of Liberty Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LBRT#NYSE">LBRT</a>), is optimistic about the sector&#8217;s potential to innovate and achieve efficiency gains, thereby enabling higher production at lower prices, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6b7f0af8-6c59-44bb-b07a-43d4768b96fd?">reported</a> The Financial Times. 
He said that they were going to see the same kind of market dynamics at that time. He explained that new supply would drive prices down, companies would innovate and lower their prices, and consumers and suppliers would fluctuate between options.
the U.S. shale sector is well-positioned to fulfill Donald Trump's call to &#8220;drill, baby, drill,&#8221; he added.
However, he anticipates an industry disruption similar to the 2014 price war between OPEC producers and the shale industry. "There were a lot of bankruptcies. There was a lot of disruption, but the end result was far lower costs to produce a barrel of oil," Wright told the publication.
A lot of U.S. oil executives are likely to disagree with Wright&#8217;s remarks amid fear that lower oil prices could reduce profits and force cutbacks in drilling activity, despite President Trump&#8217;s push for increased production.

Why It Matters: This statement comes after a sharp decline in oil prices, with Brent crude dropping below $70 last week for only the third time since Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The recent decline in oil prices has been influenced by several factors, including trade policies and OPEC+ production increases.
In March 2025, West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices fell 6% to reach multi-year lows. President Trump&#8217;s 25% tariff on energy imports from Canada and Mexico disrupted trade flows and raised <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44168987/oil-prices-hit-multi-year-lows">concerns about slower </a>global growth and reduced energy demand.
Award-winning energy historian, Daniel Yergin told the Financial Times, "at $50 a barrel the economics of shale don't work.&#8221; 
Furthermore, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) warned that a proposed 10% U.S. oil tariff could lead to a $10 billion annual loss for foreign producers, posing a significant threat to Canadian and Latin American <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/02/43900287/trumps-10-oil-tariff-could-deal-10-billion-annual-blow-to-canada-and-other-foreign-producers-goldman-sachs-warns">heavy crude suppliers</a> that depend on U.S. refiners. 
Noble Corporation plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NE#NYSE">NE</a>) plunged over 22% during the last 30 days to close at $24.71 on Friday, while Western Midstream Partners (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WES#NYSE">WES</a>) declined 4.07% during the same period.

<h3>Uncovering the Importance of Insider Activity</h3>
Insider transactions serve as a piece of the puzzle in investment decisions, rather than the entire picture.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.

Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A signifies a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

EVP and CFO Of Noble Corp Purchased $223K In Stock

Outlook For the full year 2025, today Noble announces a guidance range for Total Revenue of $3,250 to $3,450 million, Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1,050 to $1,150 million, and Capital Expenditures (net of reimbursements) between $375 to $425 million.
Commenting on Noble's outlook, Mr. Eifler stated, "We are encouraged by the depth and breadth of our active discussions with customers and line of sight to potentially contracting all of our tier-1 drillships this year for programs commencing throughout 2025-2026. Noble's high quality backlog and lower capex requirements for 2025 compared to 2024 are expected to support meaningfully higher free cash flow this year, which we intend to direct toward dividends and share repurchases."
Due to the forward-looking nature of Adjusted EBITDA and Capital Expenditures (net of reimbursements), management cannot reliably predict certain of the necessary components of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, net income and capital expenditures, respectively. Accordingly, the Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort. The unavailable information could have a significant effect on Noble's full year 2025 GAAP financial results.

President Joe Biden intends to ban offshore drilling along most of the U.S. coast before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42813324/trumps-universal-tariff-plans-take-shape-analysts-expect-stronger-for-longer-greenback">leaving the White House</a>.
The Details: Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/06/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-protecting-americas-ocean-and-coasts-from-offshore-oil-and-gas-drilling/">said</a> Monday he will protect more than 625 million acres of the ocean from future offshore oil and gas drilling. This includes the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, the Gulf of Mexico and portions of the Bering Sea.
"My decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses, and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation's energy needs," Biden said in the statement.&nbsp;

Biden will use powers given under the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act which allows the president to indefinitely withdraw unleased lands from the outer continental shelf.&nbsp; The withdrawal of the lands has no expiration date and President-elect Donald Trump will likely not be able to reverse the protections without an act of Congress.&nbsp;
Trump pledged to increase domestic energy and fossil fuel production during his campaign and Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump Vance transition team, took to social media to speak out against President Biden's decision.&nbsp;
"This is a disgraceful decision designed to exact political revenge on the American people who gave President Trump a mandate to increase drilling and lower gas prices. Rest assured, Joe Biden will fail, and we will drill, baby, drill," Leavitt posted on X.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: Biden&#8217;s offshore drilling ban could have significant impacts on several companies in the oil and gas sector.
Companies with offshore operations include Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIG#NYSE">RIG</a>) and Noble Corp. plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NE#NYSE">NE</a>), which provide contract drilling services. 
Other names to watch in the oil industry include Halliburton Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) and Baker Hughes Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NASDAQ">BKR</a>) which both have modest exposure to the offshore drilling industry. 
The Range Global Offshore Oil Services Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OFOS#NYSE">OFOS</a>) is focused specifically on offshore drilling services. The SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Equipment &amp; Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XES#NYSE">XES</a>) includes companies involved in oil and gas equipment and services.
