During the Iran war, the market's most reliable winners haven't been extractors or refiners. Instead, it's the companies that own the tankers setting the market pace, especially those operating Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs).
DHT Holdings remains a buy as valuation is attractive after a recent pullback, with shares trading at 8.33x EPS versus an 11.81x average and dividend yielding at almost 15%. DHT's Q1 2026 revenue surged 57.3% YoY, driven by geopolitical tensions, higher spot exposure, and robust VLCC spot rates. Prudent fleet management, balanced spot/time charter exposure, and ongoing fleet modernization underpin DHT's resilience amid oil market volatility.
DHT Holdings is upgraded to a strong buy, driven by robust Q1 results, strong Q2 guidance, and anticipated VLCC rate increases. DHT's charter coverage provides stability but limits upside; current strategy maintains around 50% of the fleet chartered out, with no plans to expand coverage. The company boasts a strong balance sheet, $126 million cash, $505 million debt, and refinanced credit facility, supporting 100% net income dividend payouts.
