What are Wall Street analysts saying about Diamond Offshore Drilling stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Diamond Offshore Drilling stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Diamond Offshore is a leading offshore contract driller with services across the world. Most importantly, operational efficiency of the company’s fleet was 98.8% in the fourth quarter, compared to 94.3% in the third quarter of 2017. This was mainly due to high level of efficiency in ultra deepwater segment. Its shares outperformed the industry in the last six months. The excellent financial health of the company is also noteworthy. However the introduction of new and more stringent regulations following the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has made many projects less profitable. Moreover, the company reported fourth-quarter 2017 adjusted loss of 5 cents per share compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a breakeven. The company reported earnings of 85 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter. The result was affected due to lower dayrates and rig utilization from deepwater floaters, mid-water floaters and jackups." (2/14/2018)

Excluding an after-tax loss of $0.17/ share related to debt refinancing, the company’s recurring EPS was $0.25, beating the Street’s estimate of $0.19.
