Frontline (FRO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Frontline PLC is poised for a positive financial outlook, supported by guidance indicating a significant increase in fourth-quarter earnings, which are expected to exceed recent cyclical highs, resulting in enhanced dividends for shareholders. The company's proactive debt management, including the prepayment of debt under its revolver, will reduce breakeven costs going forward, enhancing profitability. Additionally, the strong performance of product tanker rates, alongside expectations of a fleet growth of approximately 7% in 2026, positions Frontline favorably to capitalize on continued demand in the shipping industry.
Bears say
Frontline PLC experienced a disappointing third quarter, reporting adjusted earnings per share of $0.19, which fell short of both consensus estimates and prior forecasts, while EBITDA also missed expected figures at $179 million against a consensus of $191 million. The company is facing a stagnation in vessel values, particularly for secondhand LR2s, due to an influx of newbuild deliveries over the next two years that may put additional downward pressure on the market. Furthermore, despite a seasonal uptick in rates, overall activity has significantly slowed, impacting operational throughput as evidenced by an average of only approximately 12 vessels active in July and August.
