In this segment of The Motley Fool's energy-focused show, "Digging for Value", energy analysts Joel South and Taylor Muckerman discuss two companies that have been moving in opposite directions over the past three months. Transocean (RIG +0.83%) is down 13% on top of being downgraded by Wall Street firms. On the other hand, Seadrill (SDRL +0.00%) is up 10% and prospects couldn't look better. While the deepwater drilling market might soften up in the near term, is Transocean still a good buy or should investors hop ship and sail with Seadrill? Check out the video below for more insight into the offshore services market.
