Scorpio Tankers reported on February 12, 2026 that it generated net income of $128.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, up from $68.6 million a year earlier, and $344.3 million in net income for full-year 2025, down from $668.8 million in 2024 as gains on vessel sales moderated.

Spark’s Take on STNG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, STNG is a Outperform.
The score is driven by strong technical trend and an attractive valuation (low P/E with a meaningful dividend), supported by a solid balance sheet and positive earnings-call guidance on liquidity, debt reduction, and sustainable dividend growth. Offsetting factors include weakening revenue and free cash flow growth and acknowledged geopolitical/market uncertainties.
