First-half results were exceptional, with net income nearly tripling year-over-year to $380 million. Revenue jumped 44% to $665 million, driven by elevated spot tanker rates amid the Strait of Hormuz closure and the addition of three acquired vessels. Gains from selling three Suezmax tankers added $56 million, while a $190 million commitment to two newbuildings for 2027 delivery signals fleet renewal. With $1.27 billion in cash and short-term investments and no drawn debt, the company has ample liquidity to fund growth and return capital. However, the geopolitical risk factor warns that the very conflict driving rates could eventually destroy demand if prolonged.
