Noble Corporation PLC (NE) experienced a significant after-hours decline of 6.17% following the release of its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results and 2026 outlook.

The offshore driller reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.09 for the quarter, falling well short of the IBES consensus estimate of $0.21. Similarly, adjusted net income came in at $14 million, missing the estimated $36.7 million. While quarterly revenue of $764 million exceeded expectations, the profit shortfall appears to have disappointed investors.

Furthermore, the company's full-year 2026 revenue guidance range of $2.8 billion to $3.0 billion, with a midpoint slightly below the FactSet consensus of $2.97 billion, may have contributed to the negative market sentiment during the post-market session.
