Goldman Sachs upgraded Seadrill Ltd. (NYSE: SDRL) from Sell to Neutral.

Analyst Henry Tarr said, "We upgrade Seadrill to Neutral From Sell following sharp underperformance. The stock fell 18% yesterday (November 26) after the company suspended its dividend distributions due to the challenging market conditions. By cutting the dividend the company will improve its balance sheet and now has good visibility through 2015 with c.90% of floater capacity contracted. Seadrill is trading close to replacement cost and to the peer group on 2015E EV/EBITDA."
