On June 26, Frontline fell 5.19% in regular trading, trading at $38.49/share, with turnover of $80.50 million. The stock has now declined over 10% from its 52-week high of $42.88 reached on June 23.

On the news front, the International Maritime Organization announced on June 23 the launch of a Strait of Hormuz evacuation plan to repatriate over 11,000 stranded seafarers, fueling market expectations of normalized transit through the critical waterway. Analysts note that reopening the Strait of Hormuz could release approximately 300,000 TEU of shipping capacity, easing tight market supply in the near term and driving freight rates lower.

During the prior period of restricted passage, VLCC daily rates surged to nearly $470,000, propelling Frontline's Q1 revenue to $929.3 million and adjusted EPS of $1.55, both significantly beating expectations. The prospect of rate normalization has triggered a sharp reversal in sentiment toward tanker names, as investors reassess near-term earnings sustainability.
