Scorpio Tankers (STNG) is benefiting hugely from Suez Canal blockage. Tanker Rates will skyrocket in the interim from a supply side due to shortages of tankers due to hold up in canal and effective longer trips and simultaneously the demand side is benefiting from reopening trade around the world.
There is a massive ship blocking the Suez canal. What it means for shipping stocks.

A little fun reading for those of you that can. Yes it's written with AI; hold my beer. **CPI drops tomorrow 8:30 AM. Here's what happens to your calls.** |Scenario|Headline YoY|Core YoY|Odds|SPX Does|Your Calls| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |Priced In|3.2-3.5%|2.5-2.7%|45%|Fakes down, recovers|Survive. Theta wins again| |Actually Hot|3.5%+|2.8%+|20%|Drills 1.5-2.5%|Pain. Real pain| |Cooler Than Expected|<3.2%|<2.5%|25%|Rips 1-2%|We feast| |Oh God Oh No|Any|3.0%+|10%|Circuit breaker vibes|Wendy's application| February was 2.4% YoY. Consensus says 3.4-3.7% for March. Sounds terrifying until you realize oil went up 63% in one month because of Iran and everybody already knows that. The headline is cooked. It's priced in. Core is the only number that matters and the Cleveland Fed nowcast has it at 2.5%. I'm holding MOS, STNG, and UPST calls through this like a man who has already accepted his fate. Also have SPX puts as a hedge so if it goes sideways at least something prints. The move tomorrow isn't about the number. It's about whether core is hot. If core is under 2.7% we gap up by lunch. If core is 2.8%+ I'll be behind the dumpster at Wendy's looking for a frosty.
XLE, AA, STNG. Short overextenddd stocks on pops. I'm shorting one of the weaker optic/semi names AXTI but I kinda caught the top idk if I'd jump in big here though but it is crazy overextended.
I am going to be more worried if I see STNG go down. I am down a bunch and currently worried, but Iran is hell bent on making the US pay and they are the ones getting paid for higher oil right now.
Right now, I'm not buying yet, I'm trimming slightly but mainly holding. I'm about 40% or so in safer equities. I had Claude Code churn for half an hour doing research, maybe someone else finds this helpful. This is the chapter analysing current situation and most likely scenarios (bear/bull/base): ## PART 3: THE THREE SCENARIOS ### BEAR CASE (20% probability) **What happens**: April 6 deadline passes without a deal. Trump follows through on threats and strikes Iran's energy infrastructure. Iran retaliates by escalating Strait closure, activating Hezbollah and Houthis more aggressively, and potentially striking US military bases or allied oil facilities in the Gulf. The conflict drags into 2027. Oil hits $150-200/barrel. **Market impact**: - S&P 500 enters bear market territory (-20%+ from highs), bottoming around 4,600-4,800 - Full recession in H2 2026 (unemployment rises above 5%) - Fed forced to choose between cutting rates (to save economy) and hiking (to fight inflation) — likely freezes, worst of both worlds - Tech/AI stocks drop another 15-25% from current levels as consumer spending collapses and energy costs eat into data center profitability - Gold potentially retests and exceeds $5,279 high, silver could hit $90+ - Energy stocks and defense stocks surge further - Tanker rates stay at record levels indefinitely **What this means for your AI positions**: NVDA, GOOG, AMD, TSM all take another major leg down. BUT — and this is crucial — the underlying businesses don't break. AI demand is enterprise/government, not consumer. The capex commitments from Meta ($27B Nebius deal), Microsoft, etc. don't get cancelled because oil is $150. The stocks just get cheaper while the businesses keep growing. This is the "painful but ultimately an opportunity" scenario for a long-term AI bull. **What triggers this**: Trump following through on April 6 threats. Iran launching a major retaliatory strike. Houthi blockade of Bab al-Mandeb. Chinese intervention on Iran's side. --- ### BULL CASE (25% probability) **What happens**: Pakistan-mediated talks produce a framework by mid-April. Iran agrees to reopen Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a ceasefire, partial sanctions relief, and face-saving concessions. Both sides claim victory. Hormuz partially reopens within weeks, fully by June. Oil drops back to $75-85 by summer. **Market impact**: - S&P 500 rips 10-15% higher in weeks (massive short-covering rally) - Nasdaq and tech lead the recovery — they always bounce hardest from oversold conditions - AI stocks could recover most or all of their war losses within 2-3 months - Gold/silver sell off 15-20% (safe haven trade unwinds) - Tanker stocks (STNG) crash 30-40% as rates normalize - Defense stocks give back some gains but retain elevated spending levels (European rearmament is structural) - The "AI bubble is over" narrative dies — everyone remembers the AI buildout is real **What this means for your AI positions**: NVDA back toward $200+, GOOG toward $300+, AMD toward $230+. The beaten-down stocks bounce hardest. This is the scenario where you kick yourself for selling too much at the bottom. NBIS, PLTR, and other high-beta names could rally 30-50%. **What triggers this**: Iran's government, under severe economic and military pressure, accepts a face-saving deal. Trump needs a "win" before the political cost of oil prices gets too high. Both sides have incentive to find an off-ramp. Pakistan/Turkey/Egypt provide diplomatic cover. --- ### MOST LIKELY CASE (55% probability) **What happens**: A prolonged, messy, inconsistent de-escalation over 2-4 months. Here's how it plays out: 1. **April 6 deadline gets extended AGAIN** (most likely). Trump has already extended twice. He doesn't actually want to bomb power plants — the humanitarian optics are terrible and it would guarantee Iranian escalation. He's using the threat as leverage. 2. **Strait of Hormuz partially reopens** through a combination of Iran's "tollbooth" system expanding (more countries get access) and quiet diplomatic agreements. Oil doesn't drop to pre-war levels but gradually declines from $115 to $85-95 by June/July as supply partially normalizes. 3. **No formal peace deal, but an informal ceasefire** emerges by late May/June. Air strikes taper off. Iran saves face by claiming it defended itself. Trump claims he destroyed Iran's nuclear program (partially true). Neither side achieves maximum goals. 4. **The economy avoids recession** but growth slows. GDP growth drops from ~2.5% to ~1.5-2.0%. Unemployment drifts up slightly. Inflation bumps to 3.5-4% temporarily but doesn't become embedded because the Fed holds firm and energy prices gradually decline. 5. **Markets grind back slowly**. Not the V-shaped recovery of the bull case, but a steady climb back. S&P 500 reaches new highs by Q4 2026 or Q1 2027. **What this means for your AI positions**: - **Near-term (April-May)**: Continued volatility. Stocks trade on headlines, not fundamentals. Every Trump tweet moves markets 1-2%. AI stocks stay choppy but stop making new lows. - **Medium-term (June-August)**: As oil gradually drops and Hormuz partially reopens, the "stagflation" narrative fades. Tech/AI starts to outperform again as the market remembers these companies are growing 30-200% per year. - **Longer-term (Q4 2026)**: AI capex cycle is intact. Meta, Microsoft, Google, Amazon are not cancelling their AI buildout plans over a temporary oil shock. NVDA, ASML, MU, AMD all re-rate higher as the war fog clears. Your positions recover. **Key supporting evidence for this scenario**: - CNN analysis (March 27): "The dynamics suggest the war is likely to end with a whimper not a bang" - Bloomberg (March 25): "Markets bracing for Iran war shock are ignoring resilient US economy" - Analyst consensus: 25% chance ends by May, 45% settles fall 2026, 35% extends into 2027 - Historical pattern: Average correction recovers in ~4 months once it bottoms. Average war-related selloff recovers within 6-12 months. - Trump is transactional — he wants a deal, not a prolonged war. The economic cost to his base (gas prices) is a political liability.
Bloody hell, those OXY calls are proper mental - March 6th expiry is basically tomorrow and you need oil to moon hard. The STNG position's got some breathing room at least but 160k on this mix is giving me proper anxiety just looking at it 😅
I know what contango is (for those that don't, if the commodity price doesn't move the 2x leverage constant roll over cost eats the fund alive). It's 1000$ on a single contract that represents 3% of my portfolio. It is indeed a lottery ticket. I've been trading options since just around post 2008. This ain't my first rodeo with contango. I actually own puts on GLL (double short gold) yes that means I'm long gold and I'm shorting the short........and even though gold is chopping sideways, my puts are printing thanks to contango just as I intended) Now onto the India idea. Indian ships seemingly have successfully negotiated transit, they are the only ones. I love second order effects though. What else ya got? I see frontline FRO and skorpio STNG are getting their shit pushed in. I wonder if there's a way to play the rebound when this all sorts itself out? 🤔
Yeah it hurts. STNG is not able to operate its business as normal, and probably won't for a while.
Can someone explain why STNG is down? That guy who was banking on the Strait of Hormuz being closed lost big time despite predicting the start of the war.
Why is STNG not up when oil is up? Are they not related ?
and yet, while are all the shipping stocks down? not just DHT, but STNG, EURN, FRO etc.
What is this, 2021 again? Tanker markets are wildly unpredictable and what should happen doesnt always happen. I’m speaking as a person who went deep on STNG and Euronav betting on the economic recovery. There were gains to be had but importantly they lagged the broader market. Tanker stocks already pumped. Spot rates fluctuate wildly and if the crisis is resolved quickly DHT will drop like a rock.
Tankers are an interesting angle that most people overlook in these situations. Freight rates tend to lag the headline oil moves but hold up longer. What are you holding, STNG/FRO type names or something more niche?
Seems to be climbing slightly right now with STNG 🤞👍
Couldnt help but sell the OXY and QQQ puts gains were good. Held the SPX and STNG though. Too bad i didn't have the conviction to make a gas play yesterday i was 50-50....
STNG ended up red on the day
The thesis makes sense if disruption actually lasts weeks, tanker rates would spike and STNG benefits fast. But the risk with trades like this isn’t being directionally wrong, it’s being wrong on duration. Shipping names can rip on headlines and then fade just as fast if the narrative cools. Also worth remembering: options need both the move and the timing. Even if you’re right fundamentally, if it resolves faster than expected, calls get crushed. Curious, what would invalidate your thesis?? That’s usually the part people skip.
You still holding STNG or moving all to NAT? What's your Dte on NAT? Sort of been following you.
Any update on our STNG regard? I thought over the weekend he hit the lotto and was on his way to becoming a legend.
50k gainz boys nothing too special. Selling QQQ puts immediately on open was a key move. That fuel now went straight to some cheap calls on NBIS, ANET we ll see how it goes. Keeping STNG and SPX only since i have time, in case things re-escalate
We were ready to crown that regard who went big in STNG the king of wsb lol.
That STNG guy made some good money but honestly deserved to make more. No way it’s red today
Shippers being intentionally held down. Everyone keep your eyes on DHT, STNG, FRO
Sold my STNG calls right at open for double because I figured the STNG guy might try to unload all at once, looks like it was a good move
Man what is happening to STNG
STNG only up 5% off this shit. No way am I selling at open if this is going to continue for weeks.
https://preview.redd.it/2f05kczw1nmg1.png?width=911&format=png&auto=webp&s=7606917340140a95ee7b2193ce397a4d75fd0da3 same but with Tankers, also have STNG calls. and some SPY puts
i dont expect it to be more than 50% in total. Except some crazy action in OXY or STNG if shit hits the fan. My QQQ puts are the first to be closed hopefull for 70%+ return
I bought STNG calls Friday morning, disagree
Where’s the guy with all those STNG calls? Ho-ly fuc
Hoping STNG calls will print
OXY weekly calls, STNG March calls, QQQ 595P 3 DTE, SPX 6700 expiring March 30th. What do i close on open?
OP im in STNG as well, i am kinda afraid there will be updates on new leadership talks with US and we might get fucked on the tanker plays
Trust me full port STNG
Rode STNG with that guy from last week. So glad I did. 🤑
All in on STNG calls baby!
Sell two of the three tomorrow at open to ensure that you are profitable overall. Then decide if you want to close the last option or let it ride. The immediate market interest at open should drive the price up some. I am heavily long Tankers. I think STNG could hit $100 this year, but not by your expiration date.
What makes you say that? He bought calls on STNG. Oil across the sector will very likely pump tmr and all of next week. Less supply & capacity initially from this war will cause higher demand, premiums and insurance for these companies. I don’t see how his calls will lose in this situation
$STNG mainly, but also looking into $TNK and a couple others.
What you all think STNG opening at?
I hope my STNG calls print tomorrow I’m down bad
Followed that one guys STNG play the other day and now that this whole things going on I’m so curious if I’m up big big big or down bad bad bad
STNG is going to open 100 on monday
Idk I just started looking at them Thursday I totally forgot about them. FRO, STNG, DHT there's a couple others.
STNG will print monday , [https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/filing-dnb-asset-management-as-buys-273302-shares-of-scorpio-tankers-inc-stng-2026-02-28/](https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/filing-dnb-asset-management-as-buys-273302-shares-of-scorpio-tankers-inc-stng-2026-02-28/)
Where's that regard who bought a bunch of STNG calls?
Fuck yeah where is STNG gonna open on monday? Tankers diverted from hormuz
Will STNG benefit from Iran strikes
Bought some STNG 80 calls for $200 this morning on a whim just in case the attention it keeps getting drove it up any and they’re already at $280 lol
And.... I am back in, For only $970, but it is fun playing a silly game with you all. "4 Contracts STNG Mar 20 2026 80 Calls Limit at $2.42 (Day)" Let's have a great monday.
STNG ... sounds like some Star Trek shit, lol
Do I just buy STNG and call it good?
I’m betting a similar outcome but with DHT, but why STNG? Wouldn’t you rather have exposure to a company with a vast fleet of VLCC? STNG doesn’t even own one plus their delivery for one isn’t till around 2028 and the main type of tanker for transporting crude from the middle east is a VLCC. Am i regarded and misinformed or missing something?
[alphaunderpressure.com](http://alphaunderpressure.com) thesis analysis: *"Scorpio Tankers Inc. (STNG) presents a mixed fundamental profile for a bullish short-term trade. Despite strong recent share price momentum and dividend increases signaling confidence, core financials reveal significant deterioration in earnings (-45.85% EPS Y/Y TTM) and sales (-24.58% Y/Y TTM), undermining earnings quality and business durability. The balance sheet shows moderate quick ratio (9.23) but weak sales trends and negative EPS growth raise concerns about sustainability. Insider ownership is strong, supporting governance alignment, but institutional selling (-5.56% Inst Trans) and negative EPS growth suggest caution. The macro catalyst of Middle East tensions supports short-term upside, but the fundamental deterioration and mixed technical signals limit conviction. The thesis is actionable only if short-term geopolitical catalysts drive freight rates higher, but fundamental risks disconfirm sustained upside."* Thesis score **2.83**/ 5
yet STNG is skyrocketting since january, lol
yo why is BWET (tanker shipping prices) going down while STNG (tankers) going up?
I did not even know that STNG was a whore!
so why exactly would STNG moon?
Hapag-Lloyd AG to Acquire ZIM, stock up 30% today. Lol a stock that went nowhere for a year, did not trade like say STNG or TEN (incidentally I should have held the former a little longer but was inexperienced with sector rotations)
**Key Metrics (Shipping/Tankers)** | Metric | LPG | STNG | EURN | INSW | FRO | |:--|:--|:--|:--|:--|:--| | Market Cap | $1.2B | $2.8B | $3.3B | $2.7B | $5.6B | | ROE | 4.6% | 9.6% | **37.9%** | 11.5% | 9.3% | | ROA | 2.8% | 7.1% | **25.1%** | 7.8% | 3.8% | | EV/EBITDA | 10.4x | 6.7x | **4.7x** | 7.4x | 10.7x | | Net Debt/EBITDA | 2.7x | 0.6x | **0.6x** | 0.9x | 3.8x | LPG (Dorian LPG) vs shipping peers: - **Weakest returns:** 4.6% ROE vs peer avg 14.6% - **Expensive:** 10.4x EV/EBITDA vs EURN at 4.7x and STNG at 6.7x - **Higher leverage:** 2.7x Net Debt/EBITDA vs STNG/EURN at 0.6x CEO buying is a signal, but fundamentals lag peers. EURN (Euronav) offers 37.9% ROE at 4.7x EV/EBITDA with minimal debt. That's a better risk/reward unless you have specific insight on LPG rates improving.
Premarket STNG Sold KTOS at open Loaded up AVGO
We have a bottom in STNG - easy entry.
During Covid I was very bullish oil tankers. The thesis made perfect sense. No one using oil so it sits on tankers and they would make a fortune. Bought a basket of tankers, with my largest holding being STNG (Scorpio tankers). Sat on them for a while but it just never played out like I thought. Made a little bit on them and then got out. Of course about a year later STNG ran up to around $90/share.
I'm positioned in Copper via SCCO, energy via TTE and STNG and Crane for manufacturing/industrial. We will see if your predictions come true. For gold I just own a gold ETF.
TNK, STNG. Shipping companies and those costs will be going up
DHT,TK,INSW,STNG and other oil tanker stocks

It would be a great surprise to even this administration if Iran even says the words “Hormuz”. I do have $STNG 42.5 calls ready to go if they ever mention it at all.
Too late for tanker stonk puts? FRO, STNG, etc.
Yea but I made a lot that one time in 2021 with STNG… and lost way more later but still
My goddamn oil tanker company STNG has a profit margin of 20%, lowering its debt and is down to a PE of 2.84... good thing I don't need to cash, jesus.
They have said they are not building erotic AI companions. They used to make sex dolls before the robotics and AI was introduced. To ensure they get funding they eliminated the fully functional sexual aspects. This is not going to be a female version of Data from STNG.
Most tankers like TEN and TNK are still above their lows. Some of the more highly traded tickers like STNG broke those levels last week as they sold off.
Everyone’s always asking about dilution! Yes, if all warrants are exercised, MGOL shareholders’ ownership drops slightly from 5.66% to 5.09%. But even after full dilution, MGOL still looks undervalued. 🔹 How I Value Heidmar: • I looked at publicly traded shipping companies like DHT, STNG, FRO, and TK, which trade at 4x-8x EV/EBITDA multiples. • If Heidmar’s EBITDA is around $50M-$60M, a fair valuation using these comps would be $400M-$500M+. 🔹 How That Affects MGOL’s Value: • At a $400M Heidmar valuation, MGOL’s 5.09% stake would be worth $20.36M, implying a ~$0.73 fair price per share pre-merger. • Even at just $300M, MGOL should be ~$0.55 per share—still higher than today’s price. • At $500M, MGOL could be worth ~$0.91 per share. So while dilution slightly reduces MGOL’s stake, the market is still underpricing it. The argument that MGOL is now “stuck” at $0.18-$0.33 ignores the fact that it’s still trading well below its proportional value in Heidmar. Some shorts might be using the dilution argument as a scare tactic, but the math still favors MGOL holders. 🚀
> with a conservative valuation of $300 million Lol. Says who? > it is sitting at a Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio of 15, approximately 75% lower than the average publicly listed company in America That's about 5x the average PE of most shipping companies though. STNG currently at 3.5 PE.
Last week there was some heavy activity in the tanker sector. STNG DHT - if Canada goes to cut off US then the tankers are gonna be insanely busy rerouting oil
There was some overnight action happening in the tanker space. STNG and DHT. I’m not smart enough of understand what’s happening but with all the tariffs and trade wars there might be some opportunities there
Exited my STNG put position with 60% profit.
STNG finishes above the 8-day EMA yesterday and immediately plunges this morning. Puts expiring January 17th at $47.5 strike sound just right to ride this falling knife.
I went into WMT and am planning to have puts on CCI/STNG instead.
STNG, TEN, TNK, ASC, DLNG You'll need to track their price movement and find the best levels of resistance.
Anyone follow STNG? Came across them on my screener. Seems really cheap and possibly a good entry
Buying into shipping companies with VLCCs is the play I think. I'm lookin at NMM and STNG.
Given how good the setup for tankers looks over the next 5-10 years, I might get back onboard with TEN or STNG in October.
My TSLA puts are printing.\ My CLOV puts are printing.\ I'll lose a bit on NVDA stock, offset by the calls I sold.\ The only bad news is that my VSCO puts are fucked, but they were cheap.\ Sorry for the folks heavy on NVDA calls, but a decent week for me. Now I just need STNG to man the fuck up.
Calls on Scorpion Tankers $STNG
We've had a major run-up in shipping costs and profits, in part due to concerns about geopolitical risk. I haven't been in this stock, but did pretty well on STNG from Q3 23 to Q2 24 for similar reasons. The problem with shippers is similar to the problem with domestic freight companies. Once prices get high enough, companies start adding capacity, which tanks freight prices. The only moat for ocean freight providers is capital/shipbuilding capacity so I'd expect the profits to decline over time. Not saying you shouldn't add this one, but I would not expect future returns to match what we've seen now unless we have a major increase in that geopolitical risk.
