Abstract
The value of publicly traded firms are characterized by their market capitalization and enterprise value. Market capitalization is the total value of tradable shares of a company at a specific point in time, determined by the product of its stock price and the number of outstanding shares. Enterprise value is the market capitalization plus debt, minority interest and preferred shares, minus total cash and cash equivalents. Models of market capitalization and enterprise value for a cross section of offshore drilling contractors circa 2011 is described. The valuation methodology is outlined and the results of regression models are presented along with a discussion of the limitations of analysis. Fleet value is the single best predictor of market capitalization and enterprise value.
