Upturn Advisory & Investor View for STNG

10/09/2026: STNG (5-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 25 days. Simulated Profits (3.39%). Updated daily EoD!

Scorpio Tankers Inc is a prominent operator of a large, modern fleet of product tankers, primarily transporting refined petroleum products globally. The company benefits from its operational scale and a modern, fuel-efficient fleet, which provides a competitive edge in capturing high freight rates during periods of strong market demand. Its main growth story centers on capitalizing on shifts in global energy trade routes that increase shipping distances. However, investors must consider significant risks, including high financial leverage, industry cyclicality, and potential environmental regulatory costs. The company is suited for investors comfortable with maritime sector volatility and who value potential capital returns, though performance is heavily tied to global economic cycles.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
STNG receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
STNG has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, soft growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 44.4%) and strong profitability (net margin 36.7%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-48.5%), negative revenue growth (-24.6%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
STNG's financial health is supported by solid profitability, including gross margin of 46.2% and operating margin of 33.0%. Overall financial-health metrics support a 4-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
STNG's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -24.6% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-48.5%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-43.0%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 75.0% and approximately 76.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 16.72% supports management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
STNG generates approximately $462 of gross profit, $330 of operating income, and $444 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
STNG has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
