Moeller Maersk Drilling DRLCOupdate Aug. 18th, 2020
This is not a recommendation or proposal to do anything. The data written in this article is not guarranteed. It is my private personal opinion. I`m not independing as I own a position of Moeller Maersk Drilling shares.
Chances & Risks
The collapse of the oil price even before the corona panic reduced the demand for drilling ships significantly. The utilization of the fleet reduced to 66%. The cash flow is slightly negative the loss is a horror but mostly caused by impairment charges.
At the moment it looks like many oil companies renegotiate contracts with service companies to improve their conditions. Which means it is not becoming better for the drilling companies.
It would require a significant increase of the oil/gas prices to improve the situation of drilling companies like MMD. It might take time untill the situation will turn and an increased demand will meet with decreased capacities.

The main asset of the company are 22 offshore rigs.
