Operating one of the youngest fleets in the industry, Scorpio Tankers (NYSE: STNG) is an international provider of marine transportation services, specializing in the shipment of refined petroleum. Gross profit margin is a critical metric to track because it sheds light on its pricing power, complexity of products, and ability to procure raw materials, equipment, and labor. Scorpio Tankers has best-in-class unit economics for an industrials company, enabling it to invest in areas such as research and development. Its margin also signals it sells differentiated products, not commodities. As you can see below, it averaged an elite 68.8% gross margin over the last five years. That means Scorpio Tankers only paid its suppliers $31.17 for every $100 in revenue. Free cash flow isn’t a prominently featured metric in company financials and earnings releases, but we think it’s telling because it accounts for all operating and capital expenses, making it tough to manipulate. Cash is king. Scorpio Tankers has shown terrific cash profitability, putting it in an advantageous position to invest in new products, return capital to investors, and consolidate the market during industry downturns. The company’s free cash flow margin was among the best in the industrials sector, averaging an eye-popping 50.5% over the last five years. Revenue growth can be broken down into changes in price and volume (for companies like Scorpio Tankers, our preferred volume metric is total vessels). While both are important, the latter is the most critical to analyze because prices have a ceiling. Scorpio Tankers’s total vessels came in at 91 in the latest quarter, and over the last two years, averaged 7.9% year-on-year declines. This performance was underwhelming and implies there may be increasing competition or market saturation. It also suggests Scorpio Tankers might have to lower prices or invest in product improvements to grow, factors that can hinder near-term profitability. Scorpio Tankers has huge potential even though...

MONACO, June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpio Tankers Inc. (NYSE:STNG) (“Scorpio Tankers,” or the “Company”) today announced an update on its daily Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rates for the second quarter of 2026. Second Quarter 2026 TCE Rate Update Below is a summary of the average daily TCE revenue and duration of contracted voyages and time charters for the Company’s vessels (both in the pools and outside of the pools) thus far in the second quarter of 2026 as of the date hereof: The above rates and coverage percentages are subject to change as the pool results, which include, but are not limited to estimated results of voyages currently in progress, are finalized Second Quarter 2026 Diluted Shares Outstanding The Company estimates that its fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2026 to be between 53 to 54 million shares. Following the issuance of the Company's 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the "Convertible Notes") in April and May 2026, the diluted weighted average number of shares for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2026 includes the potentially dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes and restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan. The dilutive impact of the Convertible Notes is determined using the if-converted method, which assumes that the Convertible Notes were converted into common shares at the beginning of the period (or, at the date of issuance, if issued during the period). Under the if-converted method, net income is adjusted to add back the interest expense and other non-cash amortization expense associated with the Convertible Notes, while the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased by the potential number of shares issuable upon conversion. The estimated diluted shares outstanding provided herein is preliminary and subject to change as the calculation is partially dependent upon the average price of the Company’s common stock during the period. Conversion will not be assumed for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share if the effect would be anti-dilutive. About Scorpio Tankers Inc.

Scorpio Tankers Inc. currently owns 81 product tankers (31 LR2 tankers, 36 MR tankers and 14 Handymax tankers) with an average age of 10.2...

As the Q1 earnings season comes to a close, it’s time to take stock of this quarter’s best and worst performers in the marine transportation industry, including Scorpio Tankers (NYSE:STNG) and its peers. The growth of e-commerce and global trade continues to drive demand for shipping services, presenting opportunities for marine transportation companies. While ocean freight is more fuel efficient and therefore cheaper than its air and ground counterparts, it results in slower delivery times, presenting a trade off. To improve transit speeds, the industry continues to invest in digitization to optimize fleets and routes. However, marine transportation companies are still at the whim of economic cycles. Consumer spending, for example, can greatly impact the demand for these companies’ offerings while fuel costs can influence profit margins. Geopolitical tensions can also affect access to trade routes, and if certain countries are banned from using passageways like the Panama Canal, costs can spiral out of control. The 5 marine transportation stocks we track reported an exceptional Q1. As a group, revenues beat analysts’ consensus estimates by 3.5%. While some marine transportation stocks have fared somewhat better than others, they have collectively declined. On average, share prices are down 1.3% since the latest earnings results. Operating one of the youngest fleets in the industry, Scorpio Tankers (NYSE: STNG) is an international provider of marine transportation services, specializing in the shipment of refined petroleum. Scorpio Tankers reported revenues of $303 million, up 48.4% year on year. This print exceeded analysts’ expectations by 6.3%. Overall, it was a stunning quarter for the company with an impressive beat of analysts’ EBITDA estimates. Unsurprisingly, the stock is down 8.5% since reporting and currently trades at $76.21.

Scorpio Tankers delivered a first quarter that was met with a positive market reaction, as its performance exceeded Wall Street’s expectations. Management attributed the results to disciplined fleet optimization, proactive vessel sales, and a sharp focus on lowering cash breakevens. CEO Emanuele Lauro emphasized the company’s ability to generate substantial free cash flow even under stressed market conditions, highlighting recent financing moves and strong balance sheet management. The quarter also benefited from robust tanker rates, driven by supply chain rerouting and sustained global demand for refined products. Is now the time to buy STNG?

Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Gregory Robert Lewis (BTIG) asked about the rationale for issuing convertible bonds despite strong liquidity. CFO Christopher Avella explained this was an opportunistic move to lower cost of capital and provide flexibility ahead of upcoming secured debt maturities. Gregory Robert Lewis (BTIG) also questioned market disruptions and their impact on trade routes. Chief Commercial Officer Lars Dencker Nielsen described significant changes in voyage patterns and noted that “ton-miles have obviously elongated across the board,” reinforcing strong freight fundamentals. Omar Nokta (Clarksons Securities) inquired if the enlarged buyback signaled a strategic pivot. President Robert Bugbee responded there was no pivot, but rather an evolution in capital deployment, continuing to prioritize de-levering, fleet renewal, and opportunistic buybacks. Analyst (Bank of America) asked about the company’s appetite for longer-term charters in the current environment. Bugbee and Nielsen explained that low break...

Scorpio Tankers Inc.'s (NYSE:STNG) recent weak earnings report didn't cause a big stock movement. We think that investors are worried about some weaknesses underlying the earnings. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. To properly understand Scorpio Tankers' profit results, we need to consider the US$131m gain attributed to unusual items. We can't deny that higher profits generally leave us optimistic, but we'd prefer it if the profit were to be sustainable. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. Which is hardly surprising, given the name. Scorpio Tankers had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to March 2026. All else being equal, this would likely have the effect of making the statutory profit a poor guide to underlying earnings power. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. As we discussed above, we think the significant positive unusual item makes Scorpio Tankers' earnings a poor guide to its underlying profitability. As a result, we think it may well be the case that Scorpio Tankers' underlying earnings power is lower than its statutory profit. In further bad news, its earnings per share decreased in the last year. Of course, we've only just scratched the surface when it comes to analysing its earnings; one could also consider margins, forecast growth, and return on investment, among other factors. Keep in mind, when it comes to analysing a stock it's worth noting the risks involved. To help with this, we've discovered 3 warning signs (1 is concerning!) that you ought to be aware of before buying any shares in Scorpio Tankers.

Management attributed the record quarter to a long-term focus on 'controllables,' specifically strengthening the balance sheet and optimizing the fleet to reduce cash breakevens to approximately $11,000 per day. The company achieved a pro forma net cash position of $876 million, a $3.8 billion improvement since late 2021, driven by aggressive debt reduction and opportunistic vessel sales. Fleet optimization involved selling 12 older vessels at prices exceeding their original purchase costs from a decade ago, capitalizing on cyclically high secondhand values. Strategic financing actions, including a 1.75% convertible bond and a 120 basis point bank facility, were executed from a position of strength to lower the overall cost of capital. Management emphasized that the current low-breakeven model provides a 'structural advantage,' allowing the company to remain at or above breakeven even in stressed environments like the 2020 COVID-19 market. The global rerouting of trade flows due to Middle East disruptions has significantly increased ton-mile demand, more than offsetting lower overall volumes and tightening effective vessel supply. Refinery dislocation continues to be a primary driver of performance, as refining capacity remains constrained and increasingly distant from end-consumers. Management expects a significant global restocking cycle to drive future demand, as high-frequency refined product inventories have declined by more than 80 million barrels since the start of the year. The company anticipates reaching the $2 billion cash mark by early summer 2026, providing a 'hammer and anvil' approach to capitalize on stock price dislocations or opportunistic fleet renewals. Future fleet growth is expected to remain constrained at approximately 3% over the next three years, as the effective order book is smaller than headline figures due to aging vessels and sanctioned capacity. The capital allocation strategy will prioritize a 'permanent' dividend that can be sustained and grown through all market cycles, rather than high-payout or extraordinary dividends. Management plans to continue 'gently and responsibly' renewing the fleet through limited newbuilding orders while maintaining the vast majority of generated cash for shareholder returns. The company recorded a $66 million gain on the sale of four vessels during the first quarter, with nine additional vessel...
