What's Next: Transocean's Earnings Preview

Transocean Provides Fleet Status Report; Reports $9.3B Total Backlog As Of October 24, 2024

Barclays analyst David Anderson maintains Transocean (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIG#NYSE">RIG</a>) with a Equal-Weight and lowers the price target from $6 to $4.5.

The financial news frequently emphasizes stocks with heavy insider selling, premised on the assumption that insiders believe the stock is overpriced and that they are taking profits ahead of retail investors. However, most of the time, these sales are part of a previously disclosed plan and disclosed to the SEC months in advance. &nbsp;
This proves the saying that investors have many reasons to sell a stock, but the same is not necessarily true of insider buying. Typically, insiders have only one reason to buy a stock. That is, they believe it&#39;s fundamentally undervalued. &nbsp;
When you combine an undervalued stock with a price below $20, you have a chance for impressive gains. That&#39;s the case with the three stocks on this list. Plus, you can factor in the idea that these are mid-cap stocks that offer more potential for growth than more mature large-cap stocks but remove the risk that can be found in unprofitable small-cap stocks.&nbsp;
<h2>Transocean Is Well-Positioned for a Potential Oil Supercycle &nbsp;</h2>
Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rig#NYSE">RIG</a>) leases rigs and drilling equipment for oil companies. The company&#39;s lease rate directly correlates to the price of oil at the time the contracts are originated. RIG stock is trading at $4.26 as of October 11, 2024.
However, even with a consensus Hold rating, analysts are forecasting a price of $6.88, which offers a 61% upside.&nbsp;
An insider has bought shares on two separate occasions since its second-quarter earnings report in July. The transactions amounted to $3.5 million shares of RIG stock. &nbsp;
But why should you believe the insiders? First, the macroeconomic picture is favorable. The Federal Reserve started its interest rate cutting cycle with an aggressive 50-basis point cut in September. Energy stocks are expected to benefit as lower rates tend to stimulate business activity which is generally bullish for oil.&nbsp;
Second, the company signed two high-value contracts which will have over 90% of its fleet committed through 2025. And the company is well-positioned for more contracts if offshore drilling projects become less regulated in 2025.&nbsp;
<h2>Crescent Energy Nears 52-Week High and New Highs Could Be Ahead&nbsp;</h2>
Another mid-cap stock in the energy sector is Crescent Energy Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crgy#NYSE">CRGY</a>). The company has a different way of playing the energy sector because its business model focuses on acquiring resources rather than developing them. Its portfolio is heavily concentrated in the Eagle Ford and Uinta Basins. &nbsp;
Since the company&#39;s second-quarter earnings report in August, different executives and insiders have purchased CRGY stock on four separate occasions. &nbsp;
The purchases seem well timed, as the stock was up 31% in the month ending October 11 and is nearing its 52-week high. The short-term catalyst for the stock is its inclusion in the S&amp;P SmallCap 600 index, which usually brings with it a flurry of buying from institutional investors whose funds use the index as a benchmark. &nbsp;
That said, the longer-term catalyst for CRGY stock is similar to that of other oil companies: a resurgence in oil prices due to increased drilling activity in 2025 and beyond. Analysts give the stock a $16.20 price target, which offers investors a 20% upside. &nbsp;
<h2>Forget the Robo Taxi; Mobileye May Be a Better Short-Term Buy&nbsp;</h2>
When combing through the list of stocks with heavy insider buying on MarketBeat, Mobileye Global Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mbly#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>) instantly caught my eye. The company, which is partially owned by Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/intc#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), is a leader in autonomous driving technology.
The company&#39;s EyeQ chips power Mobileye&#39;s flagship SuperVision platform, consisting of 11 cameras and autonomous vehicle maps that grow smarter over time.&nbsp;
MBLY stock went public in October 2022. The meme stock movement was over at that point, but for about a year, Mobileye delivered an impressive return for investors. It&#39;s been a long fall from that point. In fact, the stock is down over 72% in 2024.&nbsp;The&nbsp;Mobileye analyst forecasts on MarketBeat show the stock with three uncomfortable sell&nbsp;ratings. &nbsp;
Still, the stock has a consensus Hold and a $26.85 price target, which provides an upside of over 107%. Autonomous driving may still be years away (the Robo Taxi isn&#39;t set for production until 2027), but no matter who wins the White House, the move towards non-carbon transportation is not slowing down. &nbsp;

Transocean Enters $193M, One-year Contract For Deepwater Conqueror With An Undisclosed Operator In US Gulf Of Mexico

Oil prices took a sharp dive on Tuesday, tumbling over 5% in morning trading in New York, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East slightly eased after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly pledged that Iran's crude oil infrastructure would be spared from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41321699/oil-prices-drop-after-netanyahu-says-israel-will-attack-military-not-oil-or-nuclear-targets-in-iran">any potential retaliatory strikes. </a>
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, the U.S. benchmark, tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), nosedived to $70 per barrel, down more than 5% as of 10 a.m. ET. This marks the steepest one-day decline in over a year.
The selloff followed a Monday report from The Washington Post that said that Netanyahu assured the Biden administration that Israel would avoid targeting Iranian oil and nuclear facilities in any retaliatory military actions.
The assurance suggested a narrower scope of potential conflict, reducing fears of widespread supply shocks in the global oil market.
Market analysts had previously warned that an Israeli strike on Iran&#8217;s oil infrastructure could send crude prices skyrocketing by $20 per barrel, highlighting concerns that Tehran would retaliate by attacking oil installations throughout the Gulf region, potentially triggering a broader energy crisis.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Sector Tanks: US Oil Giants Lead Declines</h3>
The immediate reaction in the markets was swift: U.S. energy stocks plunged, while airlines and cruise lines — typically sensitive to fuel prices — enjoyed a sharp relief rally.
The energy sector was one of the biggest losers on the day. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), which tracks major U.S. energy companies, slid 2.8%, setting up for its worst day since late April. 
АРА Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NASDAQ">APA</a>), Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FANG#NASDAQ">FANG</a>) and Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>) were the worst performers within the XLE ETF, with declines of about 4%.
Companies involved in upstream exploration and production were hit even harder, with the SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) falling 3.1%. Talos Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TALO#NYSE">TALO</a>), Kosmos Energy Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KOS#NYSE">KOS</a>) and Crescent Energy Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRGY#NYSE">CRGY</a>) each tumbled by over 4%. 
Downstream oil service providers also struggled, with the VanEck Oil Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OIH#NYSE">OIH</a>) dropping 3.6%. Major oilfield services companies like Schlumberger N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) and Halliburton Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) both fell about 3%, while Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIG#NYSE">RIG</a>) underperformed, down 5%. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Airlines And Cruise Lines Rally: Lower Fuel Costs, Strong Earnings Expectations Lift Sentiment</h3>
While energy stocks suffered, sectors reliant on cheaper fuel prices thrived. Airlines and cruise lines, in particular, were among the best performers within the S&amp;P 500 as the prospect of lower oil prices offered some relief.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) surged 4.3%, while Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) jumped 5.3%. 
Goldman Sachs recently raised its price target on Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) from $195 to $220, anticipating strong earnings momentum. Similarly, NCLH saw its price target lifted from $22 to $24.
In the airline space, American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) rallied 3.5%, United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) gained 1.2%, reaching its highest level since February 2020, and Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) rose 1.3%.

Citigroup Downgrades Transocean to Neutral

Transocean Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rig#NYSE">RIG</a>) has secured a new assignment with the British oil major, BP plc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bp#NYSE">BP</a>), in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The company&#39;s Deepwater Atlas ultra-deepwater drillship has been contracted for the assignment. The contract, valued at $232 million, has a duration of 365 days, with a 365-day option. Work related to the assignment is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2028.&nbsp;
The Deepwater Atlas drillship is one of the two eighth-generation drillships to join Transocean&#39;s fleet in 2022.&nbsp; Notably, it is known to be one of the first drillships to be equipped with 20,000-psi well control capabilities, along with a hoisting capacity of 3.4 million pounds. Another eighth-generation drillship, Deepwater Titan,&nbsp;joined Transocean&#39;s fleet the same year. With the help of these drillships, the Gulf of Mexico region is entering a new exploration phase under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
The seventh-generation drillships have a hoisting capacity of 2.5-2.8 million pounds, while the sixth-generation ones have a hoisting capacity of up to 2.0 million pounds. Seventh-generation drillships are limited to 15,000 psi well control systems.
The new eighth-generation drillships offer unique features with improved capabilities and cutting-edge tools that are well-suited for drilling wells in deepwater environments. These drillships, in particular, can operate at water depths of 12,000 feet and drill up to a depth of 40,000 feet.
Designed to improve sustainability, these drillships help optimize fuel consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, they have a lower carbon footprint associated with their offshore operations.
The Deepwater Atlas drillship was built by Seatrium, erstwhile known as Sembcorp Marine. It was delivered to Transocean in June 2022. Before its delivery, Transocean secured a drilling assignment for the rig with Beacon Offshore in August 2021.
<h2>Zacks Rank and Key Picks</h2>
Currently, RIG carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while BP has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
Some better-ranked stocks in the energy&nbsp;sector are&nbsp;PEDEVCO Corp. (AMEX:PED)&nbsp;and&nbsp;MPLX LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mplx#NYSE">MPLX</a>), presently sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) each.
PEDEVCO is engaged in the acquisition and development of energy assets in the United States and Pacific Rim countries. The company stands to benefit significantly from its holdings in the Permian Basin, one of the most prolific oil-producing regions in the United States, as well as in the D-J Basin in Colorado, which includes more than 150 high-quality drilling locations. Combined with bullish oil prices, this is expected to boost PEDEVCO&#39;s production and overall profitability.
MPLX LP owns and operates a wide range of midstream assets. The partnership&#39;s midstream assets include oil and natural gas gathering systems and transportation pipelines for crude, natural gas and refined petroleum products.
