Frontline ( (FRO) ) has issued an update.
Frontline plc has secured one-year time charter-out agreements for seven of its VLCCs, with the contracts set to commence between late January and April 2026 at a daily rate of $76,900 per vessel, a level the company describes as not seen for decades. While locking in these attractive charter rates provides earnings visibility and underscores the strength of the current tanker market, Frontline will remain largely exposed to the spot market after the contracts take effect, preserving upside potential in what management characterizes as one of the most volatile shipping sectors.
The most recent analyst rating on (FRO) stock is a Hold with a $28.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Frontline stock, see the FRO Stock Forecast page.
