Borr Drilling director Tor Olav Troim purchased approximately 150,000 shares at $4.38 per share through Drew Trust, totaling $657,000. The insider purchase signals confidence in the offshore drilling company despite near-term headwinds, including expected 2026 sales growth of only 3% and a projected net loss of ~$50 million. However, positive catalysts include fleet expansion to 34 rigs, new contracts in Vietnam and Texas, and a divestment deal in Mexico that improves operational efficiency.

The decline was driven by expenses from rig purchases and a $8.4 million credit loss provision, plus delays in the Odin rig's operational start with client Cantium, now expected in late June.

GeoSphere Capital Management acquired 1,385,000 shares of Borr Drilling (valued at $5.58 million) in Q4 2025, representing 1.84% of the fund's assets.

Success depends on sustaining higher day rates and strong rig demand.
