An update from Frontline ( (FRO) ) is now available.
Frontline plc, a major crude and product tanker owner, reported strong fourth-quarter 2025 results, posting profit of $227.9 million on revenues of $624.5 million and declaring a cash dividend of $1.03 per share. The company achieved robust spot TCEs across its VLCC, Suezmax and LR2/Aframax fleet, reflecting a firm tanker market supported by tight vessel supply and solid oil demand.
The group undertook a significant fleet renewal, agreeing to sell eight older ECO VLCCs for $831.5 million and acquire nine latest-generation scrubber-fitted ECO VLCC newbuilds for $1.224 billion, while locking in one-year time charters on eight VLCCs at high daily rates. These moves enhance fleet efficiency, secure attractive fixed income and position Frontline to capitalize on what management describes as a potentially exceptional upcycle for the tanker industry, reinforcing its ability to deliver substantial shareholder returns.
The most recent analyst rating on (FRO) stock is a Sell with a $171.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Frontline stock, see the FRO Stock Forecast page.
