TORM Posts Record Q2 Profit, Raises 2026 Guidance by $200M
TRMD sits 63% above its 52-week low of $19.3.
Summary
TORM delivered its strongest quarter ever, with TCE earnings of $512M (up from $208M a year ago) and net profit of $338M (up from $59M), driven by unprecedented freight rates amid Middle East disruptions and the Strait of Hormuz closure. The company raised full-year 2026 TCE guidance to $1.4-1.6B (from $1.15-1.45B) and EBITDA guidance to $1.0-1.2B (from $0.8-1.1B), citing continued market strength. An interim dividend of $2.40 per share was declared, payable September 24. The results reflect a structural shift in oil trade flows toward longer-haul US barrels, which supports elevated tanker rates. With 70% of 2026 earning days fixed at $45,391/day and Q3 coverage at 73%, near-term earnings visibility is strong. The conference call today at 9:00 AM ET may provide additional color on fleet expansion and market outlook.
