    If the idea of Carl Icahn wanting to split a company up seems vaguely familiar, too … well, that’s hardly anything new, either. Icahn was the key driver behind Transocean (RIG) opting to divest some of its master limited partnership holdings, he desperately wanted OshKosh (OSK) to spin off JLG, and somehow Icahn got credit for sparking Motorola’s (MSI) spinoff of its mobile phone business.

  • [By Teresa Rivas]

    Earlier this year, Transocean (RIG) completed the initial public offering for Transocean Partners (RIGP), a master limited partnership holding several of its drilling rigs.

    Today, Morgan Stanley�� Ole Slorer and Jacob Ng, reiterated their Equal-Weight rating on the stock, but write that investors should keep an eye on Transocean Partners, which offers a source of funds for fleet replacement, as well as shareholder-friendly policies like share buybacks and dividend increases.

    Although they don�� see this playing out in the near term, the write that they ��ee meaningful scope for medium-term valuation uplift, depending on the path RIG�� board takes.��/p>

    More highlights from their note:

    RIGP increases RIG�� financial flexibility to fulfill its commitment to return capital to shareholders: Concerns have recently heightened over RIG�� ability to sustain its $3/sh annual dividend. However, RIG now has the ability to tap on RIGP as an additional source of funding at a lower cost of capital. We believe that accelerated dropdowns could unlock shareholder value for RIG via dividend support, the funding of outsized buybacks, and multiple expansion. Also, see link to RIGP initiation report, published Aug 26th 2014.

    Roadmap to a $60 bull case: An overlooked element of value in RIG is the embedded ��LP��worth of its fleet, and our bull case is contingent on RIG accelerating the monetization of 6G+ units with sufficient contract coverage while divesting the rest of its lower-spec fleet. Furthermore, RIG�� pace of monetization falls within its control as opposed to the rig market headwinds that it is sailing against. Meanwhile, we believe that activist presence could also motivate RIG to adopt a more aggressive approach to asset monetization. We see a higher bull case to the extent lower-spec assets could also be monetized, but this could require a more robust rig market than today, in line with our 2017/18 expectations.

    As stated in my most recent article on BP, I believe the economic damage from this settlement could potentially bring BP (and maybe even Halliburton (HAL) and Transocean (RIG) who are also being sued) to its knees. As such, I find it important to track the growing claims on the website maintained by the third party administrator and updated each business day to get insight on this. For a more detailed background on my thoughts and analysis on the settlement and how it could affect BP, please see my first article here and follow up article here. My tracking of data has shown that the economic settlement claims have been quickly accelerating in both average claim amount and total value of claims each week, with the data in the table toward the bottom of the article. In addition, I have added this week's data as of the date and time of the writing of this article, and the prorated claims have jumped another 18% this week over last week again with again a very high average claim amount. When Friday's data comes out, that final week over week percentage change may differ materially.
