Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 48 days.
The thesis — published July 11, 2025
Growing tension in the Middle East has pushed future shipping fees for fuel up 15% since 27 June, adding extra cash to tanker owners like TORM. The share price has climbed back above its recent average, yet the stock still costs only four times next year’s expected earnings and slightly less than the value of its ships. Market mood is very optimistic, but we want proof of strength. If it clears $18.60, a move to $22-23 (about 22% higher) within three months is realistic.
Primary drivers
- Political unrest is lifting both daily and forward shipping fees for TORM’s tankers.
- Price has moved back above its recent average, hinting at a possible change in direction.
- Shares trade just below ship value and at 4x next year’s profit, so they look cheap.
- News from the Strait of Hormuz can move the stock fast, so position size carefully.
