The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +170.7% while the share price moved +60.4%. ## What is the Valaris Limited share price today? Valaris Limited's share price was $89.99 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 5 weeks. That is 4.0% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $50 and $105, and at that close it sat 72% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 8 weeks in a row. Over the last 5.5 years the share price moved +308% while the S&P 500 moved +79%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Valaris Limited pay? Valaris Limited pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Valaris Limited on? Valaris Limited is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Valaris Limited profitable? Valaris Limited earned $47.0 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −58.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $979 M. That is 8.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $114 M. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $979 M (+164.8% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed −12.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved −17.0 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +196.0% and revenue −13.2%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Valaris Limited make, and is it growing? Valaris Limited reported $539 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −12.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 5 years it has grown 10.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $2.4 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.1 B. FY25 revenue was $2.4 B, +0.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −13.2% on average, against 10.7% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −13.2%, against +1.5% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew +247.5%, against −4.4% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Valaris Limited keep? Valaris Limited's operating margin was 9.8% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 17.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 6 years it has been between −302.9% and 20.9%. The latest quarter is within that range. Across 6 years it has been between −302.9% and 20.9%, and FY25's 20.9% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −17.0 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −12.8 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Valaris Limited's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 53% of Valaris Limited's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY25 it brought in $546 M of operating cash against $979 M of profit. After $344 M of spending on assets, $203 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Valaris Limited's cash go? Valaris Limited does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $1.5 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 21.0% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $1.5 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Valaris Limited's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Valaris Limited's P/E is 7.9×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +170.7% while the price moved +60.4%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +9.2% a year; about +159.3% a year came from earnings growth and about −150.1 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Valaris Limited business getting better or worse? Valaris Limited's business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 4 quarters ago at −63.8% and has recovered to +247.5%, with ROE rising at 30.9%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does Valaris Limited earn on its capital? Valaris Limited earned a ROE of 31% in FY25. That is up from a low of −417% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 3.2 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 41.3% net margin and 0.45× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 41.3% net margin × 0.45× asset turnover × 1.67× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 31.0% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 6.2% − 9.4% = −3.2 percentage points. The 9.4% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 6.2% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 14.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Valaris Limited have too much debt? Valaris Limited has total debt of $1.2 B against shareholder equity of $3.2 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.36× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.52 in FY21 to 0.37 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Valaris Limited shareholding pattern? 8.7% of Valaris Limited's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.8 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Valaris Limited from balance-sheet trouble? For Valaris Limited, the Z-score is 2.54. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.54 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does Valaris Limited rank in its industry? 51.5 out of 100, rank 3 of 10 in Oil & Gas Drilling, with 75% of the evidence available. Valaris Limited scores 51.5 out of 100 against the 10 companies it is compared with in Oil & Gas Drilling, ranking 3. Relative strength against the index is 6.7%, and revenue and profit growth are weak. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 12.1 + 12.1 + 9.8 + 17.5 = 51.5. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Valaris Limited compared with? Valaris Limited ranks 3 of 10 Oil & Gas Drilling companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 51.5 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Jun 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

The operating margin was 9.8%, 17.0 percentage points lower than a year earlier (as of 3 November 2026). ### What is Valaris Limited Limited's market cap? Valaris Limited's market capitalisation is $6.2 B at a stock price of $89.99. Market cap is the share price times the number of shares, so it changes whenever the price moves (as of 3 November 2026). ### How is Valaris Limited Limited performing? Valaris Limited's share price has been rising for 5 weeks. In its latest quarter, revenue fell 12.4% and profit fell 58.8% compared with a year earlier. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, for 8 weeks running (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will Valaris Limited Limited's stock price go up? This page does not forecast Valaris Limited's stock price. What it shows instead: the stock price is $89.99, and it has been rising for 5 weeks. Nobody can reliably say which way a price will move, and this site does not try (as of 3 November 2026). ### Does Valaris Limited Limited have too much debt? Valaris Limited has a moderate amount of debt: its debt is 0.33× its equity. A year-by-year history of its borrowings is not in our data, so this uses the latest reading. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is Valaris Limited Limited in its business cycle? Valaris Limited's FY25 operating margin was 20.9%, against a 6-year range of −302.9% to 20.9%: the top of its range, a record year. When profit is at a record, every ratio looks better than usual, and the story depends on margins staying high. The latest quarter was 9.8%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 3 November 2026). ### What could break the Valaris Limited Limited story? The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +170.7% while the share price moved +60.4%. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Valaris Limited Limited a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Valaris Limited's share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer. The main open question: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already grown. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). This is research, not advice. We’re not SEBI-registered.
