What TORM does

Operates a fleet of product tankers transporting refined petroleum products worldwide.

Hires out product tankers by voyage and on time charters, much of it through pools that share earnings, so results follow freight rates and ship availability. Run from Copenhagen but incorporated in the UK, it came out of a 2015 debt restructuring in which the US investor Oaktree took a large stake.

Is TORM expensive compared with its peers?

Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +8.0% against +6.5% for the median peer; over one year +64.2%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
