What Borr Drilling does

Owner-operator of modern jackup rigs for shallow-water offshore drilling.

Rents out rigs under day-rate contracts, usually for a year or more, so earnings depend on how many rigs are working and what each is paid per day. The fleet was built up quickly after the 2016 founding by ordering from shipyards and buying second-hand rigs, financed largely with debt.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
