Diana and Safe Bulkers both got buy ratings, for example, as did Genco Shipping (NYSE:GNK), Eagle Bulk (NASDAQ:EGLE), and Seanergy, too. Castor, though, did not.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Jason Hall]
And while Ensco has taken its share of asset writedowns in recent years to decommission older, non-economical vessels, it has also been one of the biggest beneficiaries of consolidation. In 2017, it acquired Atwood Oceanics, a smaller company with a young, high-spec fleet of floating vessels, and more recently agreed to merge with Rowan Companies (NYSE:RDC), which has a high-quality fleet of jack-up rigs and a strong backlog of work for that fleet.

And while offshore still has a ways to go, I think investors should do well to buy Ensco at current prices. At recent prices, its shares trade for about 24% of tangible book value. Furthermore, it's also a 23% discount to the book value of Rowan Companies (NYSE:RDC), which will merge with Ensco sometime in the first half of the year. It's a substantial discount to more typical book value multiples these companies have carried during healthy offshore drilling environments:

While September was a good month for Ensco, the company made an even bigger splash in October by agreeing to buy fellow offshore driller Rowan (NYSE:RDC) in an all-stock deal. Ensco believes that the combination with Rowan will generate $150 million in annual cost savings while boosting its cash flow per share starting in 2020. It's the company's second major deal since the oil market downturn began; it bought Atwood Oceanics last year for $6.9 billion.
