TORMNASDAQ: TRMD

Value Investor's Edge Live hosted TORM CEO Jacob Meldgaard for an exclusive interview on Sept. 19. TORM plc is one of the largest US-listed product tanker firms with a $3.1B market capitalization. Jacob provides evenhanded industry commentary and is a well-trusted source. We reviewed current market conditions, and ongoing shipping disruptions, and discussed the potential for a strong seasonal rally starting in October.

Last week, TORM plc stock crashed as oil prices collapsed worldwide. As an oil tanker, TORM's business is impacted by the supply and demand for oil. However; it doesn't depend on high oil prices the same way that E&Ps do. The demand for oil and size of the tanker fleet are the more relevant factors here.

TORM plc's share price dropped 15% due to market sell-off and seasonality, but maintains an 18% dividend yield with potential upside in Q4. Global refinery shifts away from Europe to the Middle East and Africa will enhance clean product trade, benefiting TRMD. Increased vessel supply from crude to clean trades has capped rates, but the TMX pipeline and seasonality will reverse this trend, supporting future rates.

TORM plc offers a high 22% dividend yield, but this is likely unsustainable long-term despite current profitability. The company has a growing fleet of 96 vessels, with an average age of 11-12 years, and a strong balance sheet. Geopolitical tensions have boosted product tanker rates, significantly increasing TORM's profits and enabling high dividends.

TORM (TRMD) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.

Refinery additions in 2023 are reaching full capacity, resulting in more supply entering the export market and increased demand for shipping. The 15% yield is well covered within current cash flows and has adequate levels of margin should shipping rates decline. The next 12-18 months look promising for shipping rates to remain high, ensuring large cash flows and dividends.

TORM (TRMD) made it through our "Recent Price Strength" screen and could be a great choice for investors looking to make a profit from stocks that are currently on the move.

TORM PLC, a tanker company majority owned by Brookfield's Oaktree Wealth Management, has a turbulent past but is now supported by two reputable financial services firms. With a $1.50 dividend, the stock offers a potential 16% forward yield if the dividend remains unchanged.
