Torm
Download report (PDF)

Summary

  • TORM, a leading product tanker operator with a fleet of 93 vessels, achieved an EBITDA of USD 571m in 2025 and distributed USD 2.12 per share in dividends, equating to approximately 74% of net profit.
  • Guidance for 2026 anticipates a 23% increase in EBITDA to USD 700m, driven by improved freight rates and fleet expansion, although this was issued before the US-Iran conflict affecting tanker rates.
  • Despite a 16% rise in the product tanker orderbook, market conditions are favorable due to the aging global fleet and sanctions removing 10% of the fleet from the market.
  • TORM is aligned with peers on forward EV/EBITDA and is expected to maintain a solid dividend yield of 7.7% for 2026E, according to consensus analysts.

Today, we have updated our research on TORM, one of the world's largest product tanker companies with a fleet of 93 vessels transporting refined oil products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel across global trade routes. The company operates primarily in the spot market through its integrated One TORM platform, which consistently delivers market-leading freight rates per vessel.

TORM delivered EBITDA of USD 571m in 2025 and paid out USD 2.12 per share in dividends, corresponding to approximately 74% of net profit. Guidance for 2026 points to a return to growth with an EBITDA midpoint of USD 700m (+23%), supported by an improved freight rate backdrop and an expanded fleet. Notably, guidance was issued prior to the ongoing US-Iran conflict and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which is currently pushing tanker rates to record levels.

Despite the product tanker orderbook rising to around 16% of the net fleet, market conditions remain supportive. The global product tanker fleet is the oldest in twenty years, the orderbook has begun declining, and international sanctions have removed approximately 10% of the fleet from the open market. TORM trades in line with peers on forward EV/EBITDA and offers continued solid dividends, which consensus analysts estimate at a 7.7% yield for 2026E.
