Scorpio Tankers is undervalued despite a 43% growth, with strong financials, low debt, and favorable market conditions, making it a "Buy". High TCE rates and operational efficiencies led to significant revenue and net income growth, with management optimistic about short-to-medium-term prospects. The company is reducing debt, optimizing operations, and repurchasing shares, aiming to enhance cash flow and shareholder value amid a high-rate environment.
Scorpio Tankers' thesis remains at play, with elevated product rates due to increased ton-mile demand from various global events. TCE revenue declined sequentially, but was up 14% (Y/Y). STNG has been deleveraging its balance sheet, reducing the cash break-even level to $12,500 per day. We think the Dangote refinery coming online has increased the ton-mile demand. However, this could be counterproductive once the refinery starts to ramp up gasoline production, reducing imports from Europe.
Q2-2024 results: Revenues up 16% year-on-year, net income up 48% year-on-year. Demand for oil tankers is currently higher than supply, leading to pressure on vessel day rates. Vessel day rates remain at historically high levels.
