What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($14.54). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (26/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- A fairly wide model range ($5.81 to $14.54) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

51‑month range $18.74 – $55.34 · fair‑value band $5.81 – $14.54 · the $50.07 price screens above the $10.17 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
Seadrill Limited (SDRL) currently trades at $50.07, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $10.17, implying the stock looks roughly 392.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 26/100 (below-average quality), in the Energy sector. Bull case: the Asset-Based group reads highest at a median of $30.62 per share, and 2 of the 9 models we run sit above the $50.07 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at $3.03, and 7 of the 9 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Seadrill Limited generated revenue of $1.4B at a net margin of −5.0%. Revenue grew 8.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −2.4%. Net debt stands at $274M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $5.81 (bear case) to $14.54 (bull case); at $50.07, 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 10% below its 52-week high and 106% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at −44% fair-value upside, at −80%, SDRL screens richer 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.
All 9 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount ($216.59) versus Earnings-Based ($3.03). Highest evidence: Owner Earnings (73).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 28 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 60
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.
