From 13 valuation models · updated 22 days ago

Below-average quality, and screening another 59% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($3.75). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($1.25 to $3.75). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (45/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis
Transocean Ltd (RIG) currently trades at $5.26, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $2.16, implying the stock looks roughly 58.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average quality), in the Energy sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Transocean Ltd generated revenue of $4.1B at a net margin of -66.8%. Revenue grew 19.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -30.1%. Net debt stands at $4.7B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $1.25 (bear case) to $3.75 (bull case); at $5.26, 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. The share trades about 31% below its 52-week high and 110% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -45% fair-value upside, at -59%, RIG screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted 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.
All 13 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based ($4.91) versus Growth DCF ($1.78). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
