Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Material beat on earnings, sustained high TCE, and clear deleveraging (Nordic bond redemption, new credit facility) reduce risk and support valuation. The dividend boost and aggressive growth initiatives (LR2 scrubber orders and VLCC JV) provide nearer-term catalysts for STNG to reassess upside, particularly if market conditions remain firm through 2H2026.
