Why now
Oil & Gas Midstream · market cap $4.4b. 4% off the 52-week high of $92.66. Revenue growing +14%, comfortably above the S&P median. 6 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $93.00 (implying +5% upside).
Moat
Net margin 55% is exceptional — pricing-power territory rare outside premium software, branded staples, and specialty pharma. ROE 25% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately.
Risk
Production-cost sensitivity — top-quartile cost producers generate cash through the cycle while marginal producers burn it; watch the cost-per-unit trend, not just headline revenue.
Horizon
1-3 yr $93.00 (6-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $117.41 at ~6% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $150.58 if the moat survives secular pressure.

International Seaways, Inc. (INSW): score, valuation & FAQ

International Seaways, Inc. (INSW) is a Oil & Gas Midstream company that scores 64.7 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are D/E (A-), P/E (A-) and Rev (B+). On valuation, INSW sits about 19% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 3% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

A score is a quantitative screen of International Seaways, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does INSW score 64.7 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). INSW earns its highest marks on D/E (A-), P/E (A-) and Rev (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is INSW overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $88.91, INSW sits about 19% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 3% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 8.2x× P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in INSW?

Production-cost sensitivity — top-quartile cost producers generate cash through the cycle while marginal producers burn it; watch the cost-per-unit trend, not just headline revenue.
