Q4 and yearly results posted; not quite as bad as analysts had predicted, but dividend was slashed for Q1 to just $0.01. Pre-mkt trading was very briefly down to lower $3.20s, but now back up to $3.40s. Obviously any investor in STNG and other shippers is looking forward to at least late 2017 or, more likely, 2018, when these names should skyrocket on (hopefully) better supply/demand dynamics.

STNG presentation and last4Qs,TripleIsInOrder
The table below shows the preliminary results and recent trends for key metrics such as revenues and net income growth:
2016-09-30 2016-06-30 2016-03-31 2015-12-31 2015-09-30
Relevant Numbers (Quarterly)
Revenues (mil) 114.34 137.21 165.13 178.4 228.14
Revenue Growth (%YOY) -49.88 -27.19 2.75 41.88 175.23
Earnings (mil) -27.12 3.85 28.03 34.21 85.25
So basically STNG grew like a weed for 3 years, then in 2016 has had lower sales 4 Qs in a row and in last Q lost money for first time.
http://www.scorpiotankers.com/corporate-presentations the newest one on that list shows they have newest fleet in the world with best fuel economy and lowest polution. That older tankers are being scrapped by others.
Their fleet is about 2 years old! and huge. And they are building more. That means going forward they will be the low cost leader in terms of operating costs. So unless they go broke they will prosper going forward. Being banks just gave them more money JMHO they will not go broke. In 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015 they traded over $10 a share during a portion of those years.
Revenue 12/31/2015 12/31/2014 12/31/2013
Total Revenue 755,711 342,807 207,580
Cost of Revenue 174,556 78,823 40,204
Gross Profit 581,155 263,984 167,376
In 2016 they have much more revenue that in either 2013 or 2014, when it traded over $10. We are at $3.58 now. A stock triple seems in order as this cycle low will come to an end like prior one did.

I was surprised at drop today, see no reason for it. The recent news is this:
08:02 AM EST, 01/19/2017 (MT Newswires) -- Scorpio Tankers(STNG) said early Friday it has secured commitments for a loan facility of up to $172 million from a group of financial institutions.
The loan facility, which comprises multiple tranches, will be used to finance up to 60% of the market value of eight MR product tankers under construction at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard. The tankers are scheduled for delivery in 2017 and 2018.
The maturity date of each tranche is between six and 12 years from its respective drawdown date, and the facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a blended margin of 2.02% per annum.
The group of lenders include the Macquarie Bank in London, DekaBank Deutsche Girozentrale, The Export-Import Bank of Korea and Garanti-Instituttet for Eksportkreditt, the company said in a statement.
Which indicates they are expanding and the banks trust in their future. Its strange that it dropped today.
