Borr Drilling faces fraud probe after Q1 miss, 8.7% stock drop

The Schall Law Firm launched a fraud investigation into Borr Drilling Ltd. after the offshore driller missed Q1 estimates and its stock fell 8.7%.

"We expect second quarter results to continue to be affected by the delayed start-up of the Odin, now anticipated to commence late June, as well as rigs transitioning between contracts," Chief Executive Officer Patrick Schorn told investors on the May 20 earnings call.

Borr reported Q1 2026 revenue and GAAP earnings per share that fell short of consensus estimates, blaming the shortfall on the late start-up of the Odin drilling rig. The company's shares dropped more than 8.7% the following day, erasing roughly $120 million in market value based on its pre-decline market capitalization of about $1.4 billion.

The investigation, announced June 12 by the Schall Law Firm, focuses on whether Borr issued false or misleading statements or failed to disclose material information to investors. The probe targets statements made before the May 20 earnings release, when the company was still guiding expectations that did not account for the Odin delay. Borr, which operates a fleet of jack-up rigs for offshore oil and gas drilling, has not commented on the investigation. The company's next quarterly report, due in August, will show whether the Odin rig began generating revenue as anticipated and whether the operational disruptions that weighed on Q1 have been resolved.
