More work booked than they know what to do with. Continuous daily revenue is huge.

It's a given...world demands up, so the big oil companies are not going to sit back on their laurels when they could be getting more black gold

Most of the big oil finds of the last few years have been under water. RIG is the number one underwater driller by any measure. It only makes sense that Brazil, Nigeria, Norway, China, Canada and others will seek their help to get it out. Also, they have moved HQ to Switzerland which may help boost profits from a currency standpoint.

This will continue to go up due to strong oil demand.

High oil prices are here to stay and that means more, not less, off-shore drilling. Temporary drop in oil price provides opportunity to buy RIG at a p/e below 9.

Merger with Global Santa Fe increased presence in oil exploration. Massive fleet ensures leader status in sector now and well into future.

Currently trading at 35% intrinsic value.

This company will be in business for a long time just like the HIGH price of oil.

This one is simply a no brainer. Energy alternatives are going to be developed but not widely commercially available in the next five years. Offshore drilling is the most likely immediate supply side solution and the industry leader in a good place to start.

The price of oil will not stay this low forever, it's got to get cold in the northeast sometime!

This is the leader in deepwater drilling. They have 17 rigs capable of operating at a water depth of 7000 ft or more and 8 of these can operate at a depth of 10000 ft or more. These deepwater rigs can demand much higher dayrates than their shallow water counterparts. Transocean tends to sign longterm contracts which is good if you believe dayrates are at a peak, and bad if you think they will continue to go up. Personally I think the dayrates might go a little bit higher for the deepwater rigs, but tying up the longterm contracts will pay off huge dividends when they drop a few years from now. Expected EPS this year is 7.35, projected growth rates are over 20% and the stock is trading for about $78. That is the definition of cheap for an industry leader.
The only potential downside of owning this stock is because it is an industry leader, it will not grow as fast as the smaller companies, and will likely not be bought out.
Recs
revenue locked in by contracts at huge day rates. will continue to outperform market but when the bottom falls, it will fall hard just like all oil and gas.
Recs
Has a solid contract with PBR that will take some time to pan out. P/E is also very low compared to competitors.
