With Borr Drilling last closing at $3.82 versus a narrative fair value of $4.25, the prevailing view leans toward upside from here.

The recent upgrade to a Buy stance is framed around an improving risk reward profile, with upside potential driven by operational leverage as rigs roll onto better terms. Analysts argue that as the contracting environment normalizes, execution on the existing backlog and disciplined capital allocation could accelerate deleveraging and support a higher equity valuation.
