On CAPS, 99.5% of the 209 members who have rated Seadrill believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include bennysupreme and bisley11.

Two weeks ago, bennysupreme touched on Seadrill's attractive upside: "I think this will be a notch stock pick. It's well run and at a great price right now. I see this being in this [Transocean (NYSE: RIG)] price range within the next couple of years."

While Seadrill isn't the most well-known offshore driller, it has quickly become one of the industry's fiercest consolidators. With the purchase of Scorpion now complete, speculation regarding Seadrill's next acquisition has intensified. As my fellow Fool Josh Wilburn recently noted, the likes of Pride International, Noble, and even giant Transocean are all among the rumored targets.

Of course, with ship tycoon John Fredriksen serving as Seadrill's chairman and president, CAPS member bisley11 trusts that any move will likely be a wealth-building one for shareholders:

Another [John Fredriksen] baby. Most if not all the easy oil has been located. Enter Seadrill Ltd. Leases deep drilling platforms. With an 8% yield and 17% payout ratio looks like plenty of room for growth through acquisitions and a secure dividend. What's not to like? Maybe debt load but looks to be very manageable.
