I decided to keep this one free for everyone so I could experiment with a new format. I wanted to put out a quick update on what I think is interesting right now in the portfolio. Like all of my best ideas, the name came to me at 2:00 in the morning while I was staring at the ceiling waiting to fall asleep. If any of you have suggestions for features you would like to see on the Substack, or topics you want me to cover, feel free to send me a message or leave a comment.
Video Summary
Calumet’s CLMT 0.00%↑ recent C-corp conversion, and the potential catalyst of a loan from the Department of Energy in the next couple weeks.
Borr Drilling’s BORR 0.00%↑ recent Q2 earnings, additional borrowing, and new build delivery. Hint: the inflection is here and 2025 is going to be interesting.
A large portion of Valaris’ VAL 0.00%↑ fleet repricing between now and the end of 2025, along with the poor timing of their Q2 earnings report.
Transocean RIG 0.00%↑ insider buying.
