Caroline Alting, Senior Vice President for Operational Excellence & Sustainability at Noble Corp PLC (NE), completed a share sale on February 13, 2026, following the settlement of performance-vested RSUs. The company’s fourth-quarter 2025 results showed a revenue beat but an earnings-per-share miss versus analyst expectations.

  • Caroline Alting sold 4,195 A Ordinary Shares on February 13, 2026 at $43.60 per share, totaling $182,902.
  • Alting received 19,846 shares on February 12, 2026 from performance-vested RSUs granted February 3, 2023; 7,810 shares were withheld for taxes at $42.10, representing $328,801.
  • Noble Corp reported Q4 2025 EPS of $0.09 versus an expected $0.16 (a 43.75% negative surprise) while revenue of $764.41 million exceeded the $729.89 million forecast (a 4.73% positive surprise).

Caroline Alting, who serves as Senior Vice President of Operational Excellence & Sustainability at Noble Corp PLC (EXCHANGE: NE), carried out an equity transaction in mid-February 2026 that combined an institutional sale with recent RSU activity.

On February 13, 2026, Alting sold 4,195 A Ordinary Shares at $43.60 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $182,902. That disposition followed RSU settlement activity recorded a day earlier.

On February 12, 2026, Alting received 19,846 A Ordinary Shares that vested under performance-vested Restricted Stock Units originally granted on February 3, 2023. At settlement of those RSUs, the Issuer withheld 7,810 shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations. The withheld shares were valued at $42.10 per share, producing an aggregate withholding amount of $328,801.

After accounting for the sale and the post-settlement withholding, Alting directly holds 23,510 shares of Noble Corp PLC.


Separately, Noble Corp released fourth-quarter 2025 financial results that present a mixed picture. The company reported earnings per share of $0.09, below the consensus analyst projection of $0.16. That shortfall represents a negative surprise of 43.75 percent relative to the expected EPS figure.

On the top line, Noble Corp reported revenue of $764.41 million, outperforming the $729.89 million analysts had anticipated. The revenue figure therefore represents a positive surprise of 4.73 percent.

The company’s earnings call did not include mention of any updates concerning potential mergers or acquisitions. Following publication of the results, analyst firms had not issued recent upgrades or downgrades of Noble Corp, according to the available information.

These developments - the executive-level equity activity and the quarterly results - provide concrete data points for investors monitoring insider transactions and quarterly performance. The share sale by a senior operational executive came in the immediate aftermath of an RSU settlement, while the corporate results combined a top-line beat with an EPS miss.

Where details are limited in the record, the facts above are presented without inference: the sale and RSU transactions occurred on the dates and at the prices stated, Alting’s share count is as reported, and Noble’s Q4 2025 EPS and revenue outcomes match the figures provided.

Risks

  • Earnings risk - reported EPS of $0.09 fell short of analyst expectations ($0.16), indicating potential near-term earnings pressure that may affect investor confidence.
  • Uncertainty from limited disclosures - the earnings call did not provide updates on potential mergers or acquisitions, leaving strategic intent unclear.
  • Analyst coverage stability - no recent analyst upgrades or downgrades were reported following the results, which could contribute to short-term market uncertainty about company outlook.
