What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (kr 1.79). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (36/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.

Analysis

Dolphin Drilling AS (DDRIL) currently trades at kr 2.15, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is kr 1.40, implying the stock looks roughly 53.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 36/100 (below-average quality), in the Energy sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of kr 1.40 per share, and 2 of the 4 models we run sit above the kr 2.15 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at kr 1.05, and 2 of the 4 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.

Over the trailing twelve months, Dolphin Drilling AS generated revenue of 178M NOK at a net margin of −30.5%. Revenue declined 6.0% year over year. Net debt stands at 60.0M NOK. Fundamentals as of Sep 5, 2026

Our scenario range runs from kr 1.01 (bear case) to kr 1.79 (bull case); at kr 2.15, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at −50% fair-value upside, at −35%, DDRIL screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
