    The ultra-deepwater drilling market is still sizzling hot, and that's great news to the companies with exposure to the market.

    Seadrill (NYSE: SDRL  ) and Noble (NYSE: NE  ) reported earnings last week. While they didn't wow investors, there's reason to be bullish in the future. Both companies have more ultra-deepwater rigs coming online over the next two years, which should drive revenue and earnings growth. Erin Miller sat down with Fool contributor Travis Hoium to see why he's bullish on the industry.�

  • [By Travis Hoium]

    Noble isn't the only company betting big on new ultra-deepwater rigs for growth. Transocean (NYSE: RIG  ) has seven rigs under construction, Ensco (NYSE: ESV  ) has four, and SeaDrill (NYSE: SDRL  ) has a whopping nine new ultra-deepwater rigs being built. If dayrates of $600,000 per day can be maintained despite the increased supply, these companies could see $219 million in additional revenue for each new rig.�

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    All but a few Dow components have gained ground, with strength focused on pharmaceutical stocks. Pfizer (NYSE: PFE  ) has climbed nearly 3% after revealing its plans to divest itself of its 80% stake in animal-health division Zoetis (NYSE: ZTS  ) . In a somewhat complex plan, Pfizer shareholders will have the right to exchange their shares for Zoetis shares at a 7% discount, with investors getting no more than 98.98 Zoetis shares for every 100 Pfizer shares they offer to trade. With the discount, the offer is likely to get full participation, in which case Pfizer's stake would fall below the controlling-interest line. The multistage process that Pfizer has used instead of a simple one-time spin-off has been highly successful, raising the prospects that other companies will follow suit in the future.
