Seadrill is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is an offshore drilling contractor providing worldwide offshore drilling services to the oil and gas industry. Co. operates through the following segments: harsh environment, in which harsh environment rigs include both semi-submersibles and jack-ups that have a number of design modifications to be able to handle to weather conditions as seen in the North Sea and Canada; floaters, which encompasses its drillships and benign environment semi-submersible rigs; and jack-up rigs, in which jack-up rigs are mobile, self-elevating drilling platforms equipped with legs that are lowered to the seabed. The SDRL YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the SDRL YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether SDRL YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the SDRL YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
