Borr Drilling Ltd (NYSE: BORR) saw its stock soar by 8.59% in the last 24 hours, driven by positive sentiment surrounding the offshore drilling sector. The Norwegian offshore drilling contractor, which operates a fleet of jack-up rigs serving oil and gas exploration firms worldwide, has benefited from several favorable factors contributing to its strong performance.
One of the key drivers for Borr Drilling's stock surge is its robust order backlog of $1.76 billion, providing clear revenue and cash flow visibility. The company has already secured 92% contract coverage for 2024 and 73% for 2025, demonstrating the strength of its order book.
Additionally, Borr Drilling is benefiting from increasing day rates for new contracts, with a recent average of $184,000. This trend, coupled with a tight supply-demand scenario for modern jack-up rigs, positions the company for EBITDA margin expansion and cash flow growth.
