Offshore driller RIG benefits from oil supply shocks and short squeeze
The author argues Transocean is an offshore driller leveraged to oil supply disruptions—Yanbu partially shut, Hormuz attacks, Saudi cuts to Europe, and Brent at $105—which should increase demand for deepwater rigs while 26.1% short interest is positioned for a calm market that no longer exists. The stated catalysts are the October 28 earnings print and a potential short squeeze, with targets of $6.40, $7.15, and $8.80. The main stated risk is a close below $5.45 on volume, which would signal smart money has left.
