Borr’s share price has jumped premarket after the announcement and is currently priced at $1.12, after a 25.34% climb higher. However, its share price is still down by 90.13% for the year to date after WTI crude’s enormous collapse starting in January that culminated in May futures contracts dropping way below $0.
Despite the climb today, analysts surveyed by Tipranks see an over 50% potential downside on the stock and have given it an average 12-month price target of $0.43.
