What Is Nordic American Tankers' Investment Narrative?

For someone holding Nordic American Tankers, the big picture is really about believing in the durability of its tanker business, its dividend track record and the idea that forecast revenue and earnings growth can justify a rich valuation despite recent margin compression and one off boosts to profits. The short term story still centers on upcoming earnings, dividend decisions, and how the planned Suezmax newbuilds are ultimately financed, especially after the US$60,000,000 at the market offering and interest expenses that are not comfortably covered. Jim Cramer’s criticism and the spike in call option activity mostly look sentiment driven rather than something that alters those fundamental catalysts, although sharper attention on long term underperformance could increase pressure on management, capital allocation and the dividend if results disappoint.

However, investors should not ignore how thin earnings cover that high dividend right now. Nordic American Tankers' share price has been on the slide but might be up to 43% below fair value. Find out if it's a bargain.
