A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of NE, RIG, VAL and PTEN that day, the largest companies in SDRL’s SEC industry; “moved with SDRL” means the same direction and at least half the size.
What’s next · results
Before the next report: what the first day after the last four did
Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). SDRL reports after the close, so day 1 is the next close. Each time, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Next report: expected early-to-late FebruaryEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Since the Nov 3 report: −11.23%. Four reports is a small sample.
Each line is SDRL’s close against its close before the filing, on licensed end-of-day closes. What happened after each report, not a forecast; a move on the day is not a cause.
Same industry
SDRL against four same-industry peers, a year at 100
SDRL is up 44.3% in a year. Patterson Uti Energy is up 63.7%. Of these four, Valaris (+42.1%), Noble (+36.4%) and Transocean (+28.1%) did less. Weekly closes, Nov 7, 2025 = 100, on a log scale, so the same percentage move is the same height on every line.
End-of-day closes (Databento EOD), the last close of each week. The four peers are the largest US-listed companies by market value in SDRL’s SEC industry (Drilling Oil & Gas Wells) with a year of closes. It shows what the closes did; a move here is not a cause, a forecast or a call.
