Frontline plc (NYSE:FRO) is a crude oil and refined petroleum transportation company. The fleet includes 75 vessels.

The stock has surged significantly so far in 2025 due to the broader oil and gas market being bullish. Tanker companies like Frontline have been beneficiaries of the global oil supply change after the conflict in Eastern Europe, and with Trump failing to keep his promise of ending it quickly, companies like Frontline are poised to continue benefiting.

The tanker market is very tight, with minimal new vessel deliveries. Only 2% fleet growth is expected in 2025. That’s while global oil demand has continued to grow.

Frontline is one of the most solid tanker companies and has $526 million in available cash and undrawn credit facilities. It also has a dividend yield of 11.26%.

Analysts project 2025 EPS to grow 13.5% year-over-year. They also have a consensus price target of $22.18, implying 28.06% upside.

FRO stock is up 17.9% year-to-date.
