Valaris Limited (VAL) Earnings & Analysis

Updated · Covers results through Q2 FY2026 · How this is made

Latest quarter

Valaris reported quarterly revenue of $539.2 million, down from $615.2 million a year earlier but above the consensus of $500.0 million. Diluted earnings per share fell to $0.72 from $1.61 a year earlier.

The company’s gross margin narrowed to 22.9% from 35.7%, while its operating margin fell to 9.48% from 26.7%. Free cash flow was −$37.3 million, compared with $62.6 million a year earlier.

Compared with the preceding quarter, Valaris said floater revenue increased as drillships began new contracts. Jackup revenue fell partly because of fewer operating days, including time spent on maintenance and contract preparations. The company said Middle East conflicts also reduced quarterly operating income, primarily through war-related insurance costs and project delays. Valaris recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of VALARIS 104 during the quarter.
