Per the RQD rating, the 19/20 macro regime fit score, Beta of 0.99, and Altman Z of 6.52 combine to signal strong balance-sheet and macro alignment.. When you look under the hood at INSW, Fundamental Cash Engine is 15/20 with 0.0% gross margins and 11.2% ROIC. Bears are staring in the rearview mirror while institutional 13F flow (14/20) has been quietly accumulating below $126.27. My 12M target is $142.18.
@ShortSeller_Dan Fair point on 18.8x trailing P/E, but you're ignoring the forward operating leverage in Marine Transportation. If gross margin (0.0%) holds, EPS grows into the multiple faster than bears think.
Careful chasing INSW at $111.95. Reported revenue fell from $1.07B in FY 2023 to $843.3M in FY 2025, and the stock trades near the top of its 52-week range at 18.8x trailing earnings.. Gross margin is 0.0%, but operating margin is 41.0%, which shows SG&A and reinvestment are eating into bottom-line EPS. Target $90.68 on multiple compression.
