Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Rowan Companies PLC stock:

• 1. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "RDC solidified, if not modestly strengthened, our sense of the relatively healthy demand outlook for many of its jackups through the medium-term, and we continue to see healthy FCF generation through the long-term. However, we see ample downside risk to estimates through 2018E, as we believe the spottiness of work as the cycle turns, and the likelihood of depressed dayrates through 2018 suggest (much) weaker earnings than is appreciated. Maintain Hold." (2/25/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Rowan Companies offers investors stable earnings and cash flow visibility, given its technologically advanced and versatile offshore drilling fleet, strong backlog and considerable pricing power. The company's decision to eliminate its dividend might have disappointed income investors but it has provided the much-needed stability to its balance sheet. We also appreciate Rowan’s cost-control initiatives like its decision to significantly lower its 2016 operating expenses. Owing to these strong fundamentals, the company has been able to outperform the Zacks categorized Oil & Gas – U.S. Exploration & Production industry, over a period of three months. However, the company remains unsure of its near-term prospects. With most companies slowing down on activity to manage costs, the company’s utilization rate will be affected and rigs downtime will be increased." (1/3/2017)
