Quarterly results
ESEF annual reports carry no quarters: the results are annual (below).
E/P over time
E/P = trailing-12-month diluted EPS / price at quarter end. E/P is the inverse of P/E and stays defined when earnings are negative.
Today's P/E sits at the 100 percentile of its own 6-quarter history (min 3.1, median 4.6, max 6.9; quarters with earnings only).

Memo
TORM plc (TRMD). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2025-12-31.
Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 1.3 bn USD in 2025; YoY growth -14.1%; net margin 21.3%; ROE 13.3%; net debt/EBITDA 1.0x.
The estimated value range is 22.57–41.59 USD per share (median of 4 methods, agreement: high); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 31.39 USD, the price of 37.64 USD leaves a potential of -16.6% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -19.9% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.
olivLaw score 46/100, methodological classification: neutral profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Not investment advice.
Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

AI analysis
AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.
Possibly outdated: the newest document it read is from 26 Feb 2026; since then the company filed 6-K (03 Nov 2026), 6-K (13 Oct 2026), 6-K (09 Oct 2026), 6-K (07 Oct 2026), 6-K (05 Oct 2026).
In brief
TORM plc is a shipowner operating tanker vessels on international shipping markets, with activity organised in two segments: Tanker and Marine Engineering. Revenue fell in 2025 from the prior year on weaker freight rates, while the company keeps a moderate debt structure relevant to investors tracking the cyclicality of the sector. Total revenue for all segments was 1339.5 mln USD 1.
SWOT
Strengths
- Clear reporting structure with detailed financial indicators and transparent reconciliation between IFRS and non-IFRS figures.
- Operations across two segments, which gives some diversification compared with a single type of activity.
- Declining net debt that supports financial flexibility.
Weaknesses
- High dependence on volatile spot-market freight rates.
- Lower profitability in 2025, with both net profit and gross profit below the prior year.
- Fleet value declined and the vessel-level debt ratio rose.
Opportunities
- If rates recover, Tanker segment earnings could increase.
- Lower net debt could allow new financing on more favourable terms.
- Fleet modernisation could support competitiveness over the longer term.
Threats
- Sanctions, embargoes and export restrictions can change routes and customers.
- Regulatory changes and geopolitical conflicts can affect operations.
- Piracy attacks and shipyard delays can disrupt deliveries and revenue.
Risks
- Sector cyclicalityhigh
The tanker industry is strongly cyclical, and revenue can fall quickly when rates decline.
- Spot-market dependencehigh
Spot-market contracts expose the company to rate fluctuations without long-term protection.
- Vessel valuesmedium
A decline in fleet value can affect the ability to obtain asset-backed financing.
- Geopolitical risks and sanctionsmedium
International restrictions and conflicts can limit access to certain routes or customers.
- Fuel and operating costsmedium
Higher fuel prices and maintenance costs can reduce margins.
Investment thesis
What would need to be true (bull case)
- If freight rates recover, Tanker segment revenue could rise significantly and profitability could return toward earlier levels.
- Lower net debt provides a firmer financial base to get through periods of volatility.
- The two-segment structure can support revenue stability over the longer term.
What would break the thesis
- If rates stay low, revenue and margins could keep declining.
- A rising loan-to-value ratio suggests asset values are falling faster than debt, which limits future financing.
- Exposure to sanctions, conflicts and high operating costs could weigh on results.
What to watch

The business
TORM plc operates in seaborne transport of petroleum and chemical products, running an owned fleet and chartered vessels. Financial reporting is in US dollars because freight rates and much of the cost base are denominated in that currency 1. The company runs two segments: Tanker, the main revenue generator, and Marine Engineering. Performance is tracked with non-IFRS measures such as TCE earnings and adjusted EBITDA, which management uses to compare periods 1.
Revenue across all segments was 1339.5 mln USD in 2025 versus 1559.2 mln USD in 2024, and net profit fell to 286.0 mln USD from 611.5 mln USD 1. Gross profitability remained significant but declined, with gross profit at 665.5 mln USD against 895.6 mln USD 1. Net interest-bearing debt decreased, pointing to prudent financing management.
The business model depends on the share of the tanker segment and on the ability to contract vessels on the spot market and on longer terms. Operating costs, dry-docking and fleet depreciation directly affect margins, which is why the trajectory of freight rates remains the central point of analysis 1.
Segments
Tanker
The Tanker segment generates most of the revenue and is measured through TCE earnings, which were 909.7 mln USD in 2025 against 1134.8 mln USD in 2024 1. The decline mainly reflects lower rates and the spot-market contract structure 1.
Marine Engineering
The Marine Engineering segment complements the core activity and adds some diversification to the company's operations. The source document provides fewer quantitative details on this segment, so the analysis here stays limited to how it is reported 1.
Market context
The petroleum products shipping market is global and strongly cyclical, with freight rates settled in US dollars. The value of the fleet, including newbuildings, stood at 3177.5 mln USD at the end of 2025, down from 3582.9 mln USD a year earlier 1. Movements in rates and vessel values directly shape the company's ability to finance itself.
The loan-to-value ratio of the Tanker segment rose to 29.4 percent at the end of 2025 from 26.8 percent 1. The increase suggests vessel values fell faster than debt, an important point for future financial flexibility.
Trends
- Lower freight ratesheadwind
TCE earnings were lower in 2025 than in 2024, pointing to pressure on Tanker segment revenue 1. If rates stay low, margins could remain affected.
- Lower net debttailwind
Net interest-bearing debt fell to 848.4 mln USD, which could give the company more flexibility in volatile periods 1.
- Pressure on vessel valuesheadwind
The value of the fleet declined and the LTV ratio rose, limiting the ability to raise new asset-backed financing 1.
- Operating and fleet renewal costsmixed
Maintenance and dry-docking costs can fluctuate from period to period, and fleet growth could raise these costs 1.
Competitive position
Competition in petroleum products shipping is intense, with many shipowners offering capacity in similar markets. The source document does not detail the exact position of competitors but stresses the company's dependence on the spot market and freight rates, so performance depends on general sector conditions 1.
The competitive edge rests on fleet size and modernisation, customer relationships and the ability to manage operating costs. The source provides no direct quantitative comparison with other shipowners, so assessing relative position stays limited 1.
- Other tanker shipowners
Competitors on the same routes and market segments; the source does not name them.
- Spot tanker operators
Companies competing on the spot market for petroleum transport contracts.
- Time-charter fleet owners
Providers of longer-term capacity that influence the overall level of rates.
- Well-financed tanker operators
Competitors that may renew their fleets more easily thanks to access to cheaper capital.
