Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly
This operator of midsized tankers used for refined petroleum and chemicals has reduced its daily cost of operations by 30% to deal with tight market conditions. This has allowed the company to generate growth in cash reserves, while retiring debt. The healthy dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 40% of cash flow. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $8.50, looking to achieve $17.00 — upside potential of 41%. Yield 8.6%
