Noble (NE) Q2 Revenue Jumps 22%
Noble Plc (NYSE:NE), a leading offshore drilling contractor operating a global fleet of drillships, semisubmersibles, and jackups, released its second quarter results on August 5, 2025. The company reported GAAP revenue of $849 million in Q2 2025, GAAP revenue was slightly ahead of analyst expectations, and maintained its quarterly dividend. However, profitability (non-GAAP) fell short of forecasts, as adjusted earnings per share (non-GAAP EPS) came in at $0.13, well below the $0.47 consensus estimate. Net income (GAAP) declined year over year. Overall, the period saw successful contract wins, but weaker-than-expected profits underscored persistent market softness and higher costs.
